2 Kings 7:16-20
16So the peopleH5971 wentH3318 out and plunderedH962 the campH4264 of the ArameansH758. Then a 1measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 was sold for a shekelH8255 and two 2measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, 3according to the wordH1697 of the LordH3068.
17Now the kingH4428 appointedH6485 4the royalH7991 officerH7991 on whoseH834 handH3027 he leanedH8172 5to haveH5921 chargeH5921 of the gateH8179; but the peopleH5971 trampledH7429 on him at the gateH8179, and he diedH4191 justH3512 as the manH376 of GodH430 had saidH1696, 6whoH834 spokeH1696 when the kingH4428 cameH3381 downH3381 to him.
18It happenedH1961 just as the manH376 of GodH430 had spokenH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, “7Two 8measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255 and a 9measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 for a shekelH8255, will be sold tomorrowH4279 about this timeH6256 at the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111.”
19Then the royalH7991 officerH7991 answeredH6030 the manH376 of GodH430 and saidH559, “Now beholdH2009, 10if the LordH3068 should makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, could suchH2088 a thingH1697 be?” And he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, you will seeH7200 it with your own eyesH5869, but you will not eatH398 11of it.”
20And soH3651 it happenedH1961 to him, for the peopleH5971 trampledH7429 on him at the gateH8179 and he diedH4191.
