[1]Then ElishaH477 saidH559[H8799], HearH8085[H8798] ye the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068; Thus saithH559[H8804] the LORDH3068, To morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 shall a measureH5429 of fine flourH5560 be sold for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111. [No book]
[2]Then a lordH7991 on whose handH3027 the kingH4428 leanedH8172[H8737] answeredH6030[H8799] the manH376 of GodH430, and saidH559[H8799], Behold, if the LORDH3068 would makeH6213[H8802] windowsH699 in heavenH8064, might this thingH1697 be? And he saidH559[H8799], Behold, thou shalt seeH7200[H8802] it with thine eyesH5869, but shalt not eatH398 thereofH8799. [No book]
[3]And there were fourH702 leprousH6879[H8794] menH582 at the entering inH6607 of the gateH8179: and they saidH559[H8799] oneH376 to anotherH7453, Why sitH3427[H8802] we here until we dieH4191?[H8804] [No book]
[4]If we sayH559[H8804], We will enterH935[H8799] into the cityH5892, then the famineH7458 is in the cityH5892, and we shall dieH4191[H8804] there: and if we sit stillH3427[H8804] here, we dieH4191[H8804] also. Now therefore comeH3212[H8798], and let us fallH5307[H8799] unto the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758: if they save us aliveH2421[H8762], we shall liveH2421[H8799]; and if they killH4191[H8686] us, we shall but dieH4191.[H8804] [No book]
[5]And they rose upH6965[H8799] in the twilightH5399, to goH935[H8800] unto the campH4264 of the SyriansH758: and when they were comeH935[H8799] to the uttermost partH7097 of the campH4264 of SyriaH758, behold, there was no man thereH376. [No book]
[6]For the LordH136 had made the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758 to hearH8085[H8689] a noiseH6963 of chariotsH7393, and a noiseH6963 of horsesH5483, even the noiseH6963 of a greatH1419 hostH2428: and they saidH559[H8799] oneH376 to anotherH251, Lo, the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 hath hiredH7936[H8804] against us the kingsH4428 of the HittitesH2850, and the kingsH4428 of the EgyptiansH4714, to comeH935 upon usH8800. [No book]
[7]Wherefore they aroseH6965[H8799] and fledH5127[H8799] in the twilightH5399, and leftH5800[H8799] their tentsH168, and their horsesH5483, and their assesH2543, even the campH4264 as it was, and fledH5127[H8799] for their lifeH5315. [No book]
[8]And when these lepersH6879[H8794] cameH935[H8799] to the uttermost partH7097 of the campH4264, they wentH935[H8799] into oneH259 tentH168, and did eatH398[H8799] and drinkH8354[H8799], and carriedH5375[H8799] thence silverH3701, and goldH2091, and raimentH899, and wentH3212[H8799] and hidH2934[H8686] it; and came againH7725[H8799], and enteredH935[H8799] into anotherH312 tentH168, and carriedH5375[H8799] thence also, and wentH3212[H8799] and hidH2934 itH8686. [No book]
[9]Then they saidH559[H8799] oneH376 to anotherH7453, We doH6213[H8802] not well: this dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of good tidingsH1309, and we hold our peaceH2814[H8688]: if we tarryH2442[H8765] till the morningH1242 lightH216, some mischiefH5771 will comeH4672[H8804] upon us: now therefore comeH3212[H8798], that we may goH935[H8799] and tellH5046[H8686] the king'sH4428 householdH1004. [No book]
[10]So they cameH935[H8799] and calledH7121[H8799] unto the porterH7778 of the cityH5892: and they toldH5046[H8686] them, sayingH559[H8800], We cameH935[H8804] to the campH4264 of the SyriansH758, and, behold, there was no manH376 there, neither voiceH6963 of manH120, but horsesH5483 tiedH631[H8803], and assesH2543 tiedH631[H8803], and the tents as they wereH168. [No book]
[11]And he calledH7121[H8799] the portersH7778; and they toldH5046[H8686] it to the king'sH4428 houseH1004 withinH6441. [No book]
[12]And the kingH4428 aroseH6965[H8799] in the nightH3915, and saidH559[H8799] unto his servantsH5650, I will now shewH5046[H8686] you what the SyriansH758 have doneH6213[H8804] to us. They knowH3045[H8804] that we be hungryH7457; therefore are they gone outH3318[H8799] of the campH4264 to hideH2247[H8736] themselves in the fieldH7704, sayingH559[H8800], When they come outH3318[H8799] of the cityH5892, we shall catchH8610[H8799] them aliveH2416, and getH935[H8799] into the cityH5892. [No book]
[13]And oneH259 of his servantsH5650 answeredH6030[H8799] and saidH559[H8799], Let some takeH3947[H8799], I pray thee, fiveH2568 of the horsesH5483 that remainH7604[H8737], which are leftH7604[H8738] in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitudeH1995 of IsraelH3478 that are leftH7604[H8738] in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitudeH1995 of the IsraelitesH3478 that are consumedH8552[H8804]:) and let us sendH7971[H8799] and seeH7200.[H8799] [No book]
[14]They tookH3947[H8799] therefore twoH8147 chariotH7393 horsesH5483; and the kingH4428 sentH7971[H8799] afterH310 the hostH4264 of the SyriansH758, sayingH559[H8800], GoH3212[H8798] and seeH7200.[H8798] [No book]
[15]And they wentH3212[H8799] afterH310 them unto JordanH3383: and, lo, all the wayH1870 was fullH4392 of garmentsH899 and vesselsH3627, which the SyriansH758 had cast awayH7993[H8689] in their hasteH2648[H8800]. And the messengersH4397 returnedH7725[H8799], and toldH5046[H8686] the kingH4428. [No book]
[16]And the peopleH5971 went outH3318[H8799], and spoiledH962[H8799] the tentsH4264 of the SyriansH758. So a measureH5429 of fine flourH5560 was sold for a shekelH8255, and two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068. [No book]
[17]And the kingH4428 appointedH6485[H8689] the lordH7991 on whose handH3027 he leanedH8172[H8737] to have the charge of the gateH8179: and the peopleH5971 trodeH7429[H8799] upon him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191[H8799], as the manH376 of GodH430 had saidH1696[H8765], who spakeH1696[H8765] when the kingH4428 came downH3381 to himH8800. [No book]
[18]And it came to pass as the manH376 of GodH430 had spokenH1696[H8763] to the kingH4428, sayingH559[H8800], Two measuresH5429 of barleyH8184 for a shekelH8255, and a measureH5429 of fine flourH5560 for a shekelH8255, shall be to morrowH4279 about this timeH6256 in the gateH8179 of SamariaH8111: [No book]
[19]And that lordH7991 answeredH6030[H8799] the manH376 of GodH430, and saidH559[H8799], Now, behold, if the LORDH3068 should makeH6213[H8802] windowsH699 in heavenH8064, might such a thingH1697 be? And he saidH559[H8799], Behold, thou shalt seeH7200[H8802] it with thine eyesH5869, but shalt not eatH398 thereofH8799. [No book]
[20]And so it fell out unto him: for the peopleH5971 trodeH7429[H8799] upon him in the gateH8179, and he diedH4191.[H8799] [No book]
