RF KI2 7:1 But Alisha answered:—"Hear the promise of the EVER-LIVING! By to-morrow at this time a sah of flour shall be a shekel, and a sah of barley shall be a shekel, at the gate of Shomeron."
RF KI2 7:2 An Officer on whose arm the king leaned sneered at the MAN of GOD and said, "If the EVER-LIVING opened windows in the skies, could such a thing happen?" But he replied, "You shall see it with your own eyes;—but you shall not eat of it!"
RF KI2 7:3 The Outcast Lepers find the Aramite besiegers flown in Panic.
It happened there were four men, lepers, outside the gate, and one man said to his companion, "Wherever we turn we shall go to death!
RF KI2 7:4 If we say we will go to the City, the famine is there, and we shall die. But if we turn to yonder, they will kill us. However, let us proceed to the Camp of Aram,—if they let us live we shall live,—but if they kill us, we can but die!"
RF KI2 7:5 They consequently rose up, encouraging themselves to go to the Camp of Aram, and arrived at the outskirts of the Camp of Aram, and found no one there
RF KI2 7:6 for the Almighty had caused to be heard in the Camp of Aram a noise of chariots, and a sound of cavalry, and the sound as of a great army, so that each said to his comrade, "Don't you see the king of Israel has hired against us the king of the Hitites, and the kings of the Mitzeraim to come upon us?"
RF KI2 7:7 They consequently arose and fled from themselves and abandoned their baggage, their horses, and their asses in the camp as they were, and had run for their lives!
RF KI2 7:8 And these lepers having come to the skirts of the camp entered one of the tents, and ate and drank, and carried off silver, and gold, and clothing, and furniture, and hid them. Then they returned and came to another tent and carried off from there, and went and hid it.
RF KI2 7:9 At last one said to his companion, "We ought not to do so now!—for this is a day of good news! Yet we are silent! And if we wait until dawn of day, they will discover our fault, and then they will come, and catch, and report us to the palace of the king."
RF KI2 7:10 They therefore went and called at the gate, and informed them, saying, "We went to the Camp of Aram and saw neither a man nor a sound of men there, but only of horses in stall, and the tents as they were!"
RF KI2 7:11 The watch were consequently called, and they reported it to the king from their communication.
RF KI2 7:12 So the king arose in the night and said to his officers "Inform me, now, what do you think Aram is contriving against us? They know that we are famishing. So have they gone from the Camp to entice us into the open field, thinking 'They will come out of the city, when we will seize them alive, and enter the town.'"
RF KI2 7:13 Then one of his officers answered and said, "Let them take the five remaining horses that are left to us, for they are like the whole lot of Israel that are left to her—they are like all the crowd of Israel that she possesses,—and send out and ascertain."
RF KI2 7:14 They consequently took the chariot horses, and the king sent after the army of Aram ordering to go and examine.
RF KI2 7:15 So they went to the Jordan, and found all the road full of accoutrements and arms which the soldiers of Aram had thrown away. The messengers therefore returned and informed the king.
RF KI2 7:16 Then the people went out and plundered the Camp of Aram, and a sah of flour was sold for a shekel, and a sah of barley for a shekel, as the EVER-LIVING had said.
RF KI2 7:17 And the king appointed the general upon whose arm he rested over the gate; but the crowd trod him under foot at the gate, and he was killed, as the MAN of GOD foretold, when he spoke to the king when visiting him.
RF KI2 7:18 For it occurred as the MAN of GOD said to the king foretelling, "A sah of barley for a shekel, and a sah of flour for a shekel, shall be bought at this time to-morrow at the gate of Shomeron."
RF KI2 7:19 When a general sneered at the MAN of GOD and said, "If the EVER-LIVING made windows in the sky, could such an event as this come?" And he answered, "You yourself shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."
RF KI2 7:20 But yet it came to him,—for the crowd trod him under foot at the gate,—and he was killed.
