New American Standard Bible 1995
2 Kings 7:17-20
17Now the king appointed 1the royal officer on whose hand he leaned 2to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, 3who spoke when the king came down to him.
18It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “4Two 5measures of barley for a shekel and a 6measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria.”
19Then the royal officer answered the man of God and said, “Now behold, 7if the Lord should make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?” And he said, “Behold, you will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat 8of it.”
20And so it happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.
