2 Kings 7:17-19 Now, the king, had set the officer on whose hand he leaned, in charge over the gate, and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died,––as spake the man of God, who said it when the messenger came down to him.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ Now, the king, had set the officer on whose hand he leaned, in charge over the gate, and the people trode upon him in the gate, that he died,––as spake the man of God, who said it when the messenger came down to him. ¹⁸ Yea it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken unto the messenger, saying,––Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine meal for a shekel, shall there be about this time tomorrow, in the gate of Samaria: ¹⁹ And when the officer responded to the man of God, and said, Lo! then, if Yahweh were making windows in the heavens, could it be according to this word? And he said,––Lo! thou art about to see it with thine own eyes, but, thereof, shalt thou not eat.
