1 # Then Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799), Hear <08085> (8798) ye the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>; Thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, To morrow <04279> about this time <06256> shall a measure <05429> of fine flour <05560> be sold for a shekel <08255>, and two measures <05429> of barley <08184> for a shekel <08255>, in the gate <08179> of Samaria <08111>.
2 Then a lord <07991> on whose hand <03027> the king <04428> leaned <08172> (8737) answered <06030> (8799) the man <0376> of God <0430>, and said <0559> (8799), Behold, if the LORD <03068> would make <06213> (8802) windows <0699> in heaven <08064>, might this thing <01697> be? And he said <0559> (8799), Behold, thou shalt see <07200> (8802) it with thine eyes <05869>, but shalt not eat <0398> (8799) thereof.
3 # And there were four <0702> leprous <06879> (8794) men <0582> at the entering in <06607> of the gate <08179> : and they said <0559> (8799) one <0376> to another <07453>, Why sit <03427> (8802) we here until we die <04191> (8804)?
4 If we say <0559> (8804), We will enter <0935> (8799) into the city <05892>, then the famine <07458> is in the city <05892>, and we shall die <04191> (8804) there: and if we sit still <03427> (8804) here, we die <04191> (8804) also. Now therefore come <03212> (8798), and let us fall <05307> (8799) unto the host <04264> of the Syrians <0758>: if they save us alive <02421> (8762), we shall live <02421> (8799); and if they kill <04191> (8686) us, we shall but die <04191> (8804).
5 And they rose up <06965> (8799) in the twilight <05399>, to go <0935> (8800) unto the camp <04264> of the Syrians <0758>: and when they were come <0935> (8799) to the uttermost part <07097> of the camp <04264> of Syria <0758> , behold, there was no man <0376> there.
6 For the Lord <0136> had made the host <04264> of the Syrians <0758> to hear <08085> (8689) a noise <06963> of chariots <07393>, and a noise <06963> of horses <05483>, even the noise <06963> of a great <01419> host <02428> : and they said <0559> (8799) one <0376> to another <0251>, Lo, the king <04428> of Israel <03478> hath hired <07936> (8804) against us the kings <04428> of the Hittites <02850>, and the kings <04428> of the Egyptians <04714>, to come <0935> (8800) upon us.
7 Wherefore they arose <06965> (8799) and fled <05127> (8799) in the twilight <05399>, and left <05800> (8799) their tents <0168>, and their horses <05483>, and their asses <02543>, even the camp <04264> as it was, and fled <05127> (8799) for their life <05315>.
8 And when these lepers <06879> (8794) came <0935> (8799) to the uttermost part <07097> of the camp <04264> , they went <0935> (8799) into one <0259> tent <0168>, and did eat <0398> (8799) and drink <08354> (8799) , and carried <05375> (8799) thence silver <03701>, and gold <02091>, and raiment <0899>, and went <03212> (8799) and hid <02934> (8686) it; and came again <07725> (8799), and entered <0935> (8799) into another <0312> tent <0168>, and carried <05375> (8799) thence also, and went <03212> (8799) and hid <02934> (8686) it.
9 Then they said <0559> (8799) one <0376> to another <07453>, We do <06213> (8802) not well: this day <03117> is a day <03117> of good tidings <01309>, and we hold our peace <02814> (8688): if we tarry <02442> (8765) till the morning <01242> light <0216>, some mischief <05771> will come <04672> (8804) upon us: now therefore come <03212> (8798), that we may go <0935> (8799) and tell <05046> (8686) the king's <04428> household <01004>.
10 So they came <0935> (8799) and called <07121> (8799) unto the porter <07778> of the city <05892> : and they told <05046> (8686) them, saying <0559> (8800), We came <0935> (8804) to the camp <04264> of the Syrians <0758>, and, behold, there was no man <0376> there, neither voice <06963> of man <0120>, but horses <05483> tied <0631> (8803), and asses <02543> tied <0631> (8803), and the tents <0168> as they were.
11 And he called <07121> (8799) the porters <07778>; and they told <05046> (8686) it to the king's <04428> house <01004> within <06441>.
12 # And the king <04428> arose <06965> (8799) in the night <03915>, and said <0559> (8799) unto his servants <05650>, I will now shew <05046> (8686) you what the Syrians <0758> have done <06213> (8804) to us. They know <03045> (8804) that we be hungry <07457>; therefore are they gone out <03318> (8799) of the camp <04264> to hide <02247> (8736) themselves in the field <07704>, saying <0559> (8800), When they come out <03318> (8799) of the city <05892> , we shall catch <08610> (8799) them alive <02416>, and get <0935> (8799) into the city <05892>.
13 And one <0259> of his servants <05650> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799), Let some take <03947> (8799), I pray thee, five <02568> of the horses <05483> that remain <07604> (8737), which are left <07604> (8738) in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude <01995> of Israel <03478> that are left <07604> (8738) in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude <01995> of the Israelites <03478> that are consumed <08552> (8804):) and let us send <07971> (8799) and see <07200> (8799).
14 They took <03947> (8799) therefore two <08147> chariot <07393> horses <05483>; and the king <04428> sent <07971> (8799) after <0310> the host <04264> of the Syrians <0758>, saying <0559> (8800), Go <03212> (8798) and see <07200> (8798).
15 And they went <03212> (8799) after <0310> them unto Jordan <03383>: and, lo, all the way <01870> was full <04392> of garments <0899> and vessels <03627>, which the Syrians <0758> had cast away <07993> (8689) in their haste <02648> (8800). And the messengers <04397> returned <07725> (8799), and told <05046> (8686) the king <04428> .
16 And the people <05971> went out <03318> (8799), and spoiled <0962> (8799) the tents <04264> of the Syrians <0758>. So a measure <05429> of fine flour <05560> was sold for a shekel <08255>, and two measures <05429> of barley <08184> for a shekel <08255>, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
17 And the king <04428> appointed <06485> (8689) the lord <07991> on whose hand <03027> he leaned <08172> (8737) to have the charge of the gate <08179>: and the people <05971> trode <07429> (8799) upon him in the gate <08179> , and he died <04191> (8799), as the man <0376> of God <0430> had said <01696> (8765), who spake <01696> (8765) when the king <04428> came down <03381> (8800) to him.
18 And it came to pass as the man <0376> of God <0430> had spoken <01696> (8763) to the king <04428>, saying <0559> (8800), Two measures <05429> of barley <08184> for a shekel <08255>, and a measure <05429> of fine flour <05560> for a shekel <08255>, shall be to morrow <04279> about this time <06256> in the gate <08179> of Samaria <08111>:
19 And that lord <07991> answered <06030> (8799) the man <0376> of God <0430>, and said <0559> (8799), Now, behold, if the LORD <03068> should make <06213> (8802) windows <0699> in heaven <08064>, might such a thing <01697> be? And he said <0559> (8799), Behold, thou shalt see <07200> (8802) it with thine eyes <05869>, but shalt not eat <0398> (8799) thereof.
20 And so it fell out unto him: for the people <05971> trode <07429> (8799) upon him in the gate <08179>, and he died <04191> (8799).
