2 Kings 7:18-20

18It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “1Two 2measures of barley for a shekel and a 3measure 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, 4if 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 5of it.”

20And so it happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.
