2 Kings 7:11-20
11And he calledH7121 the porters; and they toldH5046 it to the king’sH4428 householdH1004 withinH6441. 12And the kingH4428 aroseH6965 in the nightH3915, and saidH559 unto his servantsH5650, I will nowH4994 shew youH834 whatH834 the Syrians have doneH6213 to usH4994. They knowH3045 that weH587 be hungryH7457; therefore are they goneH3318 outH3318 of the campH4264 to hideH2247 themselves in the fieldH7704, sayingH559, When they comeH935 outH3318 of the cityH5892, weH587 shall takeH3318 them aliveH2416, and getH6965 intoH413 the cityH5892. 13And one of his servantsH5650 answeredH559 and saidH559, LetH7971 someH4480 takeH3947, I prayH4994 thee, fiveH2568 of the horsesH5483 that remainH7604, whichH834 are leftH7604 in the city, (beholdH2009, they are as allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are leftH7604 in it; beholdH2009, they are as allH3605 the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are consumedH8552:) and letH7971 usH4994 sendH7971 and seeH7200. 14They tookH3947 therefore twoH8147 chariotsH7393 with horsesH5483; and the kingH4428 sentH7971 afterH310 the hostH4264 of the Syrians, sayingH559, GoH7971 and seeH7200. 15And they wentH7725 afterH310 them unto JordanH3383: and, loH2009, allH3605 the wayH1870 was fullH4392 of garmentsH899 and vesselsH3627, whichH834 the Syrians had castH7993 awayH7725 in their hasteH2648. And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725, and toldH5046 the kingH4428. 16And the peopleH5971 wentH3318 outH3318, and spoiled the campH4264 of the Syrians. SoH1961 a measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 was soldH3318 for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. 17And the kingH4428 appointedH6485 the captain on whoseH834 handH3027 he leanedH8172 to have the chargeH5921 of the gateH8179: and the peopleH5971 trode uponH5921 him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191 as the manH376 of GodH430 had saidH1696, who spake when the kingH4428 cameH3381 downH3381 to him. 18And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as the manH376 of GodH430 had spokenH1696 to the kingH4428, sayingH559, Two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, and a measureH5429 of fineH5560 flourH5560 for a shekelH8255, shall be tomorrowH4279 aboutH1961 this time in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111; 19and that captain answeredH559 the manH376 of GodH430, and saidH559, NowH1961, beholdH2009, ifH2005 the LORDH3068 should makeH6213 windowsH699 in heavenH8064, might suchH2088 a thingH1697 be? and he saidH559, BeholdH2009, thou shalt seeH7200 it with thine eyesH5869, but shalt notH3808 eatH398 thereof: 20it cameH1961 to passH1961 evenH3651 soH3651 unto him; for the peopleH5971 trode uponH1961 him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191.
