2 Kings 7:17-19

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

¹⁷ The king had appointed the captain, his right-hand man,^(A) 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,’ ¹⁹ this captain had answered the man of God, ‘Look, even if the Lord were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen? ’ Elisha had said, ‘You will in fact see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.’^(B)
