2 Kings 7:11-20

11The gatekeepersH7778 shouted the newsH7121, and it was reportedH5046 to the king’sH4428H6441 householdH1004.

12So the kingH4428 got upH6965 in the nightH3915 and saidH559 toH413 his servantsH5650, “Let me tellH5046H4994 you whatH834 the ArameansH758 have doneH6213 to us. They knowH3045 weH587 are starvingH7457, so they have leftH3318 the campH4264 to hideH2247 in the fieldH7704, thinkingH559, ‘WhenH3588 they come outH3318 ofH4480 the cityH5892, we will take themH8610 aliveH2416 and enterH935H413 the cityH5892.’”

13But oneH259 of his servantsH5650H559 repliedH6030, “PleaseH4994, have scouts takeH3947 fiveH2568 ofH4480 the horsesH5483 thatH834 remainH7604 in the city. Their plightH2009 will be no worse than allH3605 the IsraelitesH1995H3478 whoH834 are leftH7604 here. You can seeH2005 thatH3605 all the IsraelitesH1995H3478 hereH834 are doomedH8552. So let us send themH7971 and find outH7200.”

14Then the scouts tookH3947 twoH8147 chariotsH7393 with horsesH5483, and the kingH4428 sent themH7971 afterH310 the ArameanH758 armyH4264, sayingH559, “GoH1980 and seeH7200.” 15And they tracked themH1980H310 asH5704 far as the JordanH3383, and indeedH2009, the wholeH3605 wayH1870 was littered withH4392 the clothingH899 and equipmentH3627 the ArameansH758 had thrown offH7993 in hasteH2648. So the scoutsH4397 returnedH7725 and toldH5046 the kingH4428.

16Then the peopleH5971 went outH3318 and plunderedH962 the campH4264 of the ArameansH758. It was then thatH1961 a seahH5429 of fine flourH5560 sold for a shekelH8255, and two seahsH5429 of barleyH8184 sold for a shekelH8255, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.

17Now the kingH4428 had appointedH6485 the officerH7991 onH5921 whoseH834 armH3027 he leanedH8172 to be in charge ofH5921 the gateH8179, but the peopleH5971 trampled himH7429 in the gatewayH8179, and he diedH4191, just asH834 the manH376 of GodH430 had foretoldH1696 when the kingH4428 had comeH3381 to himH413. 18It happenedH1961 just as the manH376 of GodH430 had toldH1696H413 the kingH4428H559: “About this timeH6256 tomorrowH4279 at the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111, two seahsH5429 of barleyH8184 will sell for a shekelH8255, and a seahH5429 of fine flourH5560 will sellH1961 for a shekelH8255.”

19And the officerH7991 had answeredH6030 the manH376 of GodH430, “LookH2009, even if the LORDH3068 were to makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, could thisH2088 really happenH1961H1697?”

So Elisha had repliedH559, “You will seeH7200 it with your own eyesH5869, but you will notH3808 eatH398 any of itH8033!”

20And thatH3651 is just what happenedH1961 to him. The peopleH5971 trampledH7429 himH853 in the gatewayH8179, and he diedH4191.
