The End of the Siege
7 Then Elisha said, “All of you, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says. At this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, twelve pounds[a] of fine flour will sell for a shekel and twenty-four pounds of barley for a shekel.”
2 Then the officer at the king’s right hand, on whose arm the king was leaning, answered the man of God, “Really? Even if the Lord opened the windows of heaven, could this happen?”
Elisha said, “Listen to me. You yourself will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
