Then Elisha
said,
"Listen
to the word
of the LORD;
thus
says
the LORD,
'
Tomorrow
about this time
a measure
of fine flour
will be sold
for a shekel,
and two measures
of barley
for a shekel,
in the gate
of Samaria.'"
2
The royal
officer
on whose
hand
the king
was leaning
answered
the man
of God
and said,
"Behold,
if the LORD
should make
windows
in heaven,
could this
thing
be?" Then he said,
"Behold,
you will see
it with your own eyes,
but you will not eat
of it."
3
Now there were four
leprous
men
at the entrance
of the gate;
and they said
to one
another,
"Why
do we sit
here
until
we die?
4
"
If
we say,
'We will enter
the city,'
then the famine
is in the city
and we will die
there;
and if
we sit
here,
we die
also. Now
therefore come,
and let us go over
to the camp
of the Arameans.
If
they spare
us, we will live;
and if
they kill
us, we will but die."
5
They arose
at twilight
to go
to the camp
of the Arameans;
when they came
to the outskirts
of the camp
of the Arameans,
behold,
there was no
one
there.
6
For the Lord
had caused the army
of the Arameans
to hear
a sound
of chariots
and
a sound
of horses,
even the sound
of a great
army,
so that they said
to one
another,
"Behold,
the king
of Israel
has hired
against
us the kings
of the Hittites
and the kings
of the Egyptians,
to come
upon us."
7
Therefore they arose
and fled
in the twilight,
and left
their tents
and their horses
and their donkeys,
even the camp
just
as it was,
and fled
for their life.
8
When these
lepers
came
to the outskirts
of the camp,
they entered
one
tent
and ate
and drank,
and carried
from there
silver
and gold
and clothes,
and went
and hid
them; and they returned
and entered
another
tent
and carried
from there
also,
and went
and hid
them.
9
Then they said
to one
another,
"We are not doing
right.
This
day
is a
day
of good news,
but we are keeping silent;
if we wait
until
morning
light,
punishment
will overtake
us. Now
therefore come,
let us go
and tell
the king's
household."
10
So they came
and called
to the gatekeepers
of the city,
and they told
them, saying,
"We came
to the camp
of the Arameans,
and behold,
there was no
one
there,
nor
the voice
of man,
only
the horses
tied
and the donkeys
tied
,
and the tents
just
as they were."
11
The gatekeepers
called
and told
it within
the king's
household.
12
Then the king
arose
in the night
and said
to his servants,
"I will now
tell
you what
the Arameans
have done
to us. They know
that we are hungry;
therefore they have gone
from the camp
to hide
themselves in the field,
saying,
'When
they come
out of the city,
we will capture
them alive
and get
into the city.'"
13
One
of his servants
said,
"Please,
let some men take
five
of the horses
which
remain,
which
are left
in the city. Behold,
they will be in any case like all
the multitude
of Israel
who
are left
in it; behold,
they will be in any case like all
the multitude
of Israel
who
have already perished,
so let us send
and see."
14
They took
therefore two
chariots
with horses,
and the king
sent
after
the army
of the Arameans,
saying,
"Go
and see."
15
They went
after
them to the Jordan,
and behold,
all
the way
was full
of clothes
and equipment
which
the Arameans
had thrown away
in their haste.
Then the messengers
returned
and told
the king.
16
So the people
went
out and plundered
the camp
of the Arameans.
Then a measure
of fine flour
was sold for a shekel
and two measures
of barley
for a shekel,
according to the word
of the LORD.
17
Now the king
appointed
the royal officer
on
who
se
hand
he leaned
to 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,
who
spoke
when the king
came down
to him.
18
It happened
just as the man
of God
had spoken
to the king,
saying,
"Two measures
of barley
for a shekel
and a measure
of fine flour
for a shekel
,
will be sold tomorrow
about this time
at the gate
of Samaria."
19
Then the royal officer
answered
the man
of God
and said,
"Now behold,
if 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
of it."
20
And so
it happened
to him, for the people
trampled
on him at the gate
and he died.
