King James Version
And
Elisha saith
, `
Hear ye a
word of Jehovah:
thus said
Jehovah
, About this time to-morrow,
a measure of fine flour `is'
at
a shekel, and two measures of barley at
a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. '
Then
Elisha said
, Hear ye the
word of the
LORD;
Thus saith
the
LORD
, To
morrow
about this time shall
a measure of fine flour be
sold
for
a shekel, and two measures of barley for
a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
And
the
captain
whom
the
king
hath,
by
whose hand he
hath
been
supported,
answereth
the man of God and saith
, `Lo
, Jehovah
is
making
windows in the
heavens
--
shall
this thing be? '
and he saith
, `Lo
, thou art
seeing
it with thine eyes, and
thereof
thou
dost
not eat. '
Then
a
lord
on
whose hand the king
leaned
answered
the
man of God ,
and said
, Behold
, if
the
LORD
would
make
windows in heaven,
might
this thing be? And he said
, Behold
, thou shalt
see
it with thine eyes, but
shalt
not eat thereof
.
And four men
have
been
leprous ,
at the opening
of the gate ,
and they say
one unto
another, `What
--
we are
sitting
here till
we have
died;
And there
were
four leprous men
at the entering
in
of the gate :
and they said
one to
another, Why
sit
we here until
we die?
if we have
said
, We go
in
to
the city, then the famine `
is '
in the city, and we have
died
there ;
and if we have
sat
here, then
we have
died;
and
now ,
come and we
fall unto the camp
of Aram;
if they keep
us alive, we live ,
and if they put
us to
death
--
we have
died
. '
If we say
, We will
enter
into
the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall
die
there :
and if we sit
still
here, we die
also.
Now therefore
come ,
and let
us
fall unto the host
of the
Syrians:
if they save
us alive, we shall
live ;
and if they kill
us ,
we shall
but
die
.
And they rise
in the twilight, to go in
unto the camp of Aram,
and they come in
unto
the extremity
of the camp of Aram
, and
lo
, there is
not
a
man there ,
And they rose
up
in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the
Syrians:
and when
they were
come to
the uttermost
part
of the camp of Syria
, behold
, there was
no
man there .
seeing
Jehovah
hath
caused
the camp
of Aram
to hear a noise of chariot
and a noise of horse
--
a
noise of great force,
and they say
one unto
another, `
Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt
, to come against
us. '
For
the LORD
had
made
the
host
of the
Syrians
to hear a noise of chariots,
and a noise of horses,
even
the
noise of a
great host:
and they said
one to
another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the
Egyptians
, to come upon
us.
And
they rise
and flee
in the twilight, and forsake
their tents, and their horses, and their asses --
the camp as it `is'
--
and flee
for their life.
Wherefore
they arose
and fled
in the twilight, and left
their tents, and their horses, and their asses ,
even
the camp as it was,
and fled
for their life.
And these lepers come
in
unto
the extremity
of the camp, and
come
in
unto
one tent, and eat ,
and drink, and lift
up
thence silver, and gold, and garments
, and go
and hide
; and they
turn
back
and go
in
unto
another tent, and lift
up
thence, and go
and hide
.
And when
these lepers came
to
the uttermost
part
of the camp, they
went
into
one tent, and did
eat and drink, and carried
thence silver, and gold, and raiment
, and went
and hid
it
; and came
again,
and entered
into
another tent, and carried
thence also
, and went
and hid
it
.
And
they say
one unto
another, `
We are
not doing
right
this day ;
a day of tidings it
`is'
, and we are
keeping
silent;
and
--
we have
waited
till the light
of
the
morning, then
hath
punishment
found
us ;
and
now ,
come and
we go in
and declare
to
the
house
of
the king
. '
Then
they said
one to
another, We do
not well:
this day is
a day of good
tidings, and we hold
our
peace:
if
we tarry
till the morning light
, some
mischief
will
come
upon
us :
now therefore
come ,
that
we may
go and tell
the king's
household
.
And
they come
in,
and call
unto the gatekeeper
of the city ,
and declare
for
themselves
, saying, `
We have
come
in
unto
the camp of Aram
, and lo
, there
is
not
there a
man, or
sound
of man, but the
bound
horse
, and the
bound
ass
, and tents as they `are'
. '
So
they came
and called
unto the porter
of the city :
and they
told
them
, saying, We came
to
the camp of the
Syrians
, and, behold,
there was
no
man there
, neither
voice
of man, but horses
tied
, and asses
tied
, and the
tents as they were
.
and he calleth
the gatekeepers,
and they declare
to the house of
the
king
within.
And he called
the porters;
and they told
it
to the king's
house within.
And the king riseth
by
night, and saith
unto his servants, `Let
me
declare,
I pray
you,
to
you that
which
the Aramaeans
have done to us ;
they have
known
that we are famished,
and
they are
gone out from
the camp to be
hidden
in the field, saying, When they come out from
the city, then
we catch them alive, and unto
the city we
enter
. '
And the king arose
in
the
night, and said
unto his servants, I will
now
show
you what
the Syrians
have done to us .
They know
that we be
hungry;
therefore
are they gone out of
the camp to hide
themselves
in the field, saying, When they come out of
the city, we shall
catch them alive, and get
into
the city.
And one of his servants answereth
and saith
, `Then
let them
take, I pray thee, five of the horses that are
left
, that
have
been
left in it
--
lo
, they `
are '
as all the multitude of Israel who
have
been
left in it ;
lo
, they are as all the multitude of Israel
who
have
been
consumed --
and we
send and see. '
And one of his servants answered
and said
, Let some
take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain
, which
are
left in the
city
, (behold,
they are as all the multitude of Israel that
are
left in it :
behold
, I
say,
they are even
as all the multitude of the
Israelites
that
are
consumed :)
and let
us
send and see.
And
they take
two chariot -
horses ,
and the king sendeth
after the camp
of Aram
, saying, `
Go ,
and see. '
They took
therefore
two chariot horses ;
and the king sent
after the host
of the
Syrians
, saying, Go and see.
And they go
after them unto the
Jordan ,
and lo, all the way is
full of garments and vessels that
the Aramaeans
have
cast away in their haste ,
and the messengers turn
back
and declare
to
the king.
And they went
after them unto Jordan :
and ,
lo, all the way was
full of garments and vessels ,
which
the Syrians
had
cast away in their haste .
And the messengers returned,
and told
the king.
And the people go
out and spoil
the camp
of Aram,
and
there
is
a measure of fine flour at
a shekel, and two measures of barley at
a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah
.
And the people went
out ,
and spoiled
the tents
of the
Syrians.
So
a measure of fine flour was
sold
for
a shekel, and two measures of barley for
a shekel, according to the word of the
LORD
.
And the king hath
appointed the captain,
by
whose hand he is
supported,
over
the gate ,
and the people tread
him down
in the gate, and he dieth
, as the man of God spake
, which
he
spake in
the
coming
down
of
the king unto
him ,
And the king appointed the lord
on
whose hand he leaned
to
have
the charge
of
the
gate :
and the people trode
upon
him in the gate, and he died
, as the man of God had
said
, who
spake when
the king came
down
to
him .
yea,
it cometh
to pass ,
according
to
the
speaking
of
the man of God unto
the king, saying, `
Two measures of barley at
a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at
a shekel are
, at
this
time
to -
morrow ,
in the gate of Samaria ;'
And
it came
to pass as
the man of God had
spoken
to
the king, saying, Two measures of barley for
a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for
a shekel, shall
be
to morrow about
this
time
in the gate of Samaria :
and the
captain
answereth
the man of God, and saith
, `And
lo
, Jehovah
is
making
windows in the
heavens
--
it
is
according
to
this
word
? '
and he saith
, `Lo
, thou art
seeing
with thine eyes, and
thereof
thou
dost
not eat ;'
And that
lord
answered
the man of God, and said
, Now
, behold,
if
the
LORD
should
make
windows in heaven,
might
such
a
thing
be
? And he said
, Behold
, thou shalt
see
it
with thine eyes, but
shalt
not eat thereof.
and it cometh
to
him so,
and
the people tread
him down
in the gate, and he dieth
.
And so
it fell
out
unto
him :
for
the people trode
upon
him in the gate, and he died
.
