1 Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: a‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’ ”
2 aSo an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, bif the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”
The Syrians Flee
3 Now there were four leprous men aat the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we die?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter the city,’ the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the aarmy of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die.”
