2 Then the captain, the king’s right-hand man,(B) responded to the man of God,(C) “Look, even if the Lord were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?”(D)
Elisha announced, “You will in fact see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.”(E)

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!”
