¹⁶ Then the people went out and plundered the Aramean camp.^(A) It was then that seven litres of fine flour sold for ten grams of silver and fourteen litres of barley sold for ten grams of silver, according to the word of the Lord.^{(B) 17} The king had appointed the captain, his right-hand man,^(C) to be in charge of the city gate, but the people trampled him in the gate. He died, just as the man of God had predicted when the king had come to him. ¹⁸ When the man of God had said to the king, ‘About this time tomorrow fourteen litres of barley will sell for ten grams of silver and seven litres of fine flour will sell for ten grams of silver at Samaria’s gate,’
