Elisha Predicts Deliverance the Next Day
7 So Elisha responded, “Listen to this message from the Lord! ‘This is what the Lord says: “At about this time tomorrow, in Samaria’s city gate, a seah[a] of finely ground flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel.”’”
2 But the royal attendant on whom the king depended responded to the man of God: “Look here! Even if the Lord were to open a window in the sky, how could this happen?”
He replied, “No, you look! You’ll see it with your eyes, but you won’t eat any of it!”
