2 Kings 7:18-20

EasyEnglish Bible

¹⁸ Elisha had said to the king, ‘This time tomorrow, five kilograms of good flour will cost only one piece of silver. Ten kilograms of barley will also cost one piece of silver. You will be able to buy this food at the gate of Samaria.’ ¹⁹ But the officer had replied to the man of God, ‘That will never happen! Even if the Lord opens the skies and sends us rain, it could not happen so soon.’ Elisha had said, ‘You yourself will see this happen, but you will not eat any of the food!’

²⁰ That is what really happened to him! At the city gate, the people ran over the king's officer and he died.
