The End of the Siege
7 Then Elisha said, “All of you, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says. At this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, twelve pounds[a] of fine flour will sell for a shekel and twenty-four pounds of barley for a shekel.”
2 Then the officer at the king’s right hand, on whose arm the king was leaning, answered the man of God, “Really? Even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven, could this happen?”
Elisha said, “Listen to me. You yourself will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”

Elisha Prophesies Hope for Relief
7 Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh: ‘Thus says Yahweh, “At this time tomorrow a seah of wheat bread flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.’” 2 Then the officer on whom the king relied[a] answered the man of God and said, “Look, even if Yahweh is making windows in heaven, could this thing happen?” And he said, “Look, you will be seeing it with your eyes, but you shall not eat from it there.”
