Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah 1 of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, 2 and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’” Jos 3:5Exo 16:12Ezk 37:41Sa 11:9Exo 14:13Exo 9:5-6Psa 46:5Exo 8:23
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” Gen 18:12-14Gen 7:11Mal 3:102Ti 2:13Psa 78:41Rom 3:32Ch 20:202Ki 5:18
He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die? Lev 13:45-46Num 5:2-42Ki 7:42Ki 8:4Jer 27:13Jer 8:14Num 12:142Ki 5:1 If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.” Jer 14:182Sa 14:14Est 4:16Jon 3:9Luk 15:17-19Heb 9:27Jer 37:13-14Jer 8:14
They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there. Deu 28:71Sa 30:17Deu 32:25Deu 32:30Ezk 12:12Ezk 12:6-7Lev 27:26Lev 27:8 For the Lord 3 had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and 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 attack us.” 2Sa 5:24Isa 31:11Ki 10:29Rev 9:92Ch 12:2-32Ki 3:22-27Ezk 10:5Isa 36:9 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. Pro 28:1Psa 48:4-6Amo 2:14-16Heb 6:18Isa 2:20Jer 48:8-9Job 18:11Mat 24:16-18 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them. Jos 7:21Mat 13:442Ki 5:24Jer 41:8Mat 25:18 Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.” Isa 52:7Php 2:42Ki 7:32Ki 7:6Hag 1:4-5Isa 41:27Nam 1:15Num 32:23
So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.” 2Ki 7:112Ki 7:6-72Sa 18:26Mrk 13:34-35Psa 127:1
Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’” 2Ki 6:25-29Jos 8:4
One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.” 2Ki 5:132Ki 6:332Ki 7:4Jer 14:18Lam 4:9
Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king. Est 1:7Ezk 18:31Heb 12:1Isa 10:3Isa 2:20Isa 22:24Isa 31:7Job 2:4 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah 4 of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, 5 according to the LORD’s word. 2Ki 7:1Isa 33:23Isa 33:41Sa 17:532Ch 14:12-152Ch 20:25Isa 33:1Isa 44:26 The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him. 2Ki 6:322Ki 7:22Ki 9:33Heb 10:29Isa 25:10Jdg 20:43Mic 7:10 It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs 6 of barley for a shekel, 7 and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;” Gen 18:142Ki 6:322Ki 7:1-2 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.” 2Ki 7:2 It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died. 2Ch 20:20Heb 3:18-19Isa 7:9Jer 17:5-6Job 20:23Num 20:12
