2 Kings 7:17-19

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁷ The king had appointed the captain, his right-hand man,^(A) to be in charge of the gate, but the people trampled him in the gateway. He died, just as the man of God had predicted when the king came to him. ¹⁸ When the man of God had said to the king, “About this time tomorrow 12 quarts^[a] of barley will sell for a shekel^[b] and six quarts^[c] of fine meal will sell for a shekel^[d] at the gate of Samaria,” 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)
