2 Kings 7:14-16
World English Bible

14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”

15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king. 16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah[a] of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel,[b] according to Yahweh’s word.
