2 Kings 7:17-19

Expanded Bible

¹⁷ The king ·chose [appointed] the officer ·who was close to him [^Lon whose arm he leaned] to guard the gate, but the people trampled the officer to death. This happened just as ·Elisha [the man of God] had told the king when the king came to his house. ¹⁸ He had said, “·Thirteen quarts [Two measures/^Lseahs] of barley and ·seven quarts [a measure/^Lseah]of fine flour will each sell for ·two-fifths of an ounce of silver [a shekel] about this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria.”

¹⁹ But the officer had answered, “Even if the Lord opened windows in the sky, that couldn’t happen.” And Elisha had told him, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.”
