Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:007:010 So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they
told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and,
behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but
horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
12:007:011 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king's
house within.
12:007:012 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I
will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know
that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to
hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of
the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
12:007:013 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I
pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in
the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel
that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the
multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us
send and see.
12:007:014 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent
after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
12:007:015 And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was
full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away
in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the
king.
12:007:016 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians.
So 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.
12:007:017 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to
have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in
the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake
when the king came down to him.
12:007:018 And it came to pass 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, shall be to morrow about this time in
the gate of Samaria:
12:007:019 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold,
if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing
be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes,
but shalt not eat thereof.
12:007:020 And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in
the gate, and he died.
12:008:001 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to
life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and
sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath
called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land
seven years.
