mkjv@2Kings:7:1 @ And Elisha said, Hear the word of the LORD! So says the LORD, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour [will be] sold at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

mkjv@2Kings:7:2 @ And the third officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, [if] the LORD would make windows in heaven, then this thing might be. And he said, Behold, you shall see with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.

mkjv@2Kings:7:3 @ And four men, lepers, were at the gate entrance. And they said to one another, Why do we sit here until we die?

mkjv@2Kings:7:4 @ If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we shall die there. And if we still sit here, we also shall die. And now come and let us fall to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we shall live. And if they kill us, we shall only die.

mkjv@2Kings:7:5 @ And they rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had come to the outermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, no man [was] there!

mkjv@2Kings:7:6 @ For the LORD had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses, the noise of a great army. And they said to one another, Lo, the king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians against us, to come on us.

mkjv@2Kings:7:9 @ And they said to one another, We are not doing right. This day [is] a day of good news, and we hold our peace. If we stay until the morning light, some punishment will come on us. And now come, so that we may go and tell the king's household.

mkjv@2Kings:7:10 @ And they came and called to the porter of the city. And they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, no man [was] there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they [were.

mkjv@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, Please let [some] take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city; behold, they [are] like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they [are] even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed. And we will send and see.

mkjv@2Kings:8:13 @ And Hazael said, What! [Is] your servant a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, The LORD has shown me that you [shall be] king over Syria.
