2 Kings 7:1 (ASV) American Standard Version

1 And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah: thus saith Jehovah, 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.
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
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 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.
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6 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.
7 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.
8 And when these lepers came to the outermost 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 they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.
9 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, punishment will overtake us; now therefore come, let us go and tell the kings household.
10 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 the horses tied, and the asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 And he called the porters; and they told it to the kings household within.
12 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 are 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 take them alive, and get into the city.
13 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, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed); and let us send and see.
14 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 And they went after them unto the 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.
16 And the people went out, and plundered the camp 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 Jehovah.
17 And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.
18 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;
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah 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:
20 it came to pass even so unto him; for the people trod upon him in the gate, and he died.
1 Then Elisha H477 said, H559 Hear H8085 ye the word H1697 of the LORD; H3068 Thus H3541 saith H559 the LORD, H3068 Tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 shall a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 be sold for a shekel, H8255 and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel, H8255 in the gate H8179 of Samaria. H8111
2 Then a lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 the king H4428 leaned H8172 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God, H430 and said, H559 Behold, H2009 if the LORD H3068 would make H6213 windows H699 in heaven, H8064 might this H2088 thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said, H559 Behold, H2009 thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes, H5869 but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
3 And there were H1961 four H702 leprous H6879 men H376 at the entering in H6607 of the gate: H8179 and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another, H7453 Why H4100 sit H3427 we H587 here H6311 until H5704 we die H4191 ?
4 If H518 we say, H559 We will enter H935 into the city, H5892 then the famine H7458 is in the city, H5892 and we shall die H4191 there: H8033 and if H518 we sit H3427 still here, H6311 we die H4191 also. Now H6258 therefore come, H1980 and let us fall H5307 unto H413 the host H4264 of the Syrians: H758 if H518 they save us alive, H2421 we shall live; H2421 and if H518 they kill H4191 us , we shall but die. H4191
5 And they rose up H6965 in the twilight, H5399 to go H935 unto H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians: H758 and when they were come H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp H4264 of Syria, H758 behold, H2009 there was no H369 man H376 there. H8033
6 For the Lord H136 had made H853 the host H4264 of the Syrians H758 to hear H8085 a noise H6963 of chariots, H7393 and a noise H6963 of horses, H5483 even the noise H6963 of a great H1419 host: H2428 and they said H559 one H376 to H413 another, H251 Lo, H2009 the king H4428 of Israel H3478 hath hired H7936 against H5921 us H853 the kings H4428 of the Hittites, H2850 and the kings H4428 of the Egyptians, H4714 to come H935 upon H5921 us.
7 Wherefore they arose H6965 and fled H5127 in the twilight, H5399 and left H5800 H853 their tents, H168 and their horses, H5483 and their asses, H2543 even the camp H4264 as H834 it H1931 was , and fled H5127 for H413 their life. H5315
8 And when these H428 lepers H6879 came H935 to H5704 the uttermost part H7097 of the camp, H4264 they went H935 into H413 one H259 tent, H168 and did eat H398 and drink, H8354 and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 silver, H3701 and gold, H2091 and raiment, H899 and went H1980 and hid H2934 it ; and came again, H7725 and entered H935 into H413 another H312 tent, H168 and carried H5375 thence H4480 H8033 also , and went H1980 and hid H2934 it .
9 Then they said H559 one H376 to H413 another, H7453 We H587 do H6213 not H3808 well: H3651 this H2088 day H3117 is a day H3117 of good tidings, H1309 and we H587 hold our peace: H2814 if we tarry H2442 till H5704 the morning H1242 light, H216 some mischief H5771 will come upon H4672 us: now H6258 therefore come, H1980 that we may go H935 and tell H5046 the king's H4428 household. H1004
10 So they came H935 and called H7121 unto H413 the porter H7778 of the city: H5892 and they told H5046 them, saying, H559 We came H935 to H413 the camp H4264 of the Syrians, H758 and, behold, H2009 there was no H369 man H376 there, H8033 neither voice H6963 of man, H120 but H3588 H518 horses H5483 tied, H631 and asses H2543 tied, H631 and the tents H168 as H834 they H1992 were .
11 And he called H7121 the porters; H7778 and they told H5046 it to the king's H4428 house H1004 within. H6441
12 And the king H4428 arose H6965 in the night, H3915 and said H559 unto H413 his servants, H5650 I will now H4994 show H5046 you H853 what H834 the Syrians H758 have done H6213 to us . They know H3045 that H3588 we H587 be hungry; H7457 therefore are they gone out H3318 of H4480 the camp H4264 to hide themselves H2247 in the field, H7704 saying, H559 When H3588 they come out H3318 of H4480 the city, H5892 we shall catch H8610 them alive, H2416 and get H935 into H413 the city. H5892
13 And one H259 of his servants H4480 H5650 answered H6030 and said, H559 Let some take, H3947 I pray thee, H4994 five H2568 of H4480 the horses H5483 that remain, H7604 which H834 are left H7604 in the city, ( behold, H2009 they are as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of Israel H3478 that H834 are left H7604 in it: behold, H2009 I say , they are even as all H3605 the multitude H1995 of the Israelites H3478 that H834 are consumed: H8552 ) and let us send H7971 and see. H7200
14 They took H3947 therefore two H8147 chariot H7393 horses; H5483 and the king H4428 sent H7971 after H310 the host H4264 of the Syrians, H758 saying, H559 Go H1980 and see. H7200
15 And they went H1980 after H310 them unto H5704 Jordan: H3383 and, lo, H2009 all H3605 the way H1870 was full H4392 of garments H899 and vessels, H3627 which H834 the Syrians H758 had cast away H7993 in their haste. H2648 And the messengers H4397 returned, H7725 and told H5046 the king. H4428
16 And the people H5971 went out, H3318 and spoiled H962 H853 the tents H4264 of the Syrians. H758 So a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 was H1961 sold for a shekel, H8255 and two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel, H8255 according to the word H1697 of the LORD. H3068
17 And the king H4428 appointed H6485 H853 the lord H7991 on H5921 whose H834 hand H3027 he leaned H8172 to have the charge of H5921 the gate: H8179 and the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate, H8179 and he died, H4191 as H834 the man H376 of God H430 had said, H1696 who H834 spoke H1696 when the king H4428 came down H3381 to H413 him.
18 And it came to pass H1961 as the man H376 of God H430 had spoken H1696 to H413 the king, H4428 saying, H559 Two measures H5429 of barley H8184 for a shekel, H8255 and a measure H5429 of fine flour H5560 for a shekel, H8255 shall be H1961 tomorrow H4279 about this time H6256 in the gate H8179 of Samaria: H8111
19 And that lord H7991 answered H6030 H853 the man H376 of God, H430 and said, H559 Now, behold, H2009 if the LORD H3068 should make H6213 windows H699 in heaven, H8064 might such H2088 a thing H1697 be H1961 ? And he said, H559 Behold, H2009 thou shalt see H7200 it with thine eyes, H5869 but shalt not H3808 eat H398 thereof H4480 H8033 .
20 And so H3651 it fell out H1961 unto him : for the people H5971 trod upon H7429 him in the gate, H8179 and he died. H4191
