2 Kings 7:16-20
16So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. Then a 1measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two 2measures of barley for a shekel, 3in accordance with the word of the Lord.
17Now the king appointed 4the royal officer on whose hand he leaned 5to be in charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, 6who spoke when the king came down to him.
18So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “7Two 8measures of barley for a shekel and a 9measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold about this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria.”
19At that time the royal officer had responded to the man of God and said, “Now even if 10the Lord were to make windows in heaven, could such a thing as this happen?” And he had said, “Behold, you are going to see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat 11any of it.”
20And this is what happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.
