2 Kings 7

KJV

1  Then Elisha⁴⁷⁷ said,⁵⁵⁹ Hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ ye the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD;³⁰⁶⁸ Thus³⁵⁴¹ saith⁵⁵⁹ the LORD,³⁰⁶⁸ Tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ about this time⁶²⁵⁶ shall a measure⁵⁴²⁹ of fine flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ be sold for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ and two measures⁵⁴²⁹ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ in the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria.⁸¹¹¹

2  Then a lord⁷⁹⁹¹ on⁵⁹²¹ whose⁸³⁴ hand³⁰²⁷ the king⁴⁴²⁸ leaned⁸¹⁷² answered^{6030 853} the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ if the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ would make⁶²¹³ windows⁶⁹⁹ in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ might this²⁰⁸⁸ thing¹⁶⁹⁷ be?¹⁹⁶¹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ it with thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ but shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ thereof.^{4480 8033}

3  And there were¹⁹⁶¹ four⁷⁰² leprous⁶⁸⁷⁹ men³⁷⁶ at the entering in⁶⁶⁰⁷ of the gate:⁸¹⁷⁹ and they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,⁷⁴⁵³ Why⁴¹⁰⁰ sit³⁴²⁷ we⁵⁸⁷ here⁶³¹¹ until⁵⁷⁰⁴ we die?⁴¹⁹¹

4  If⁵¹⁸ we say,⁵⁵⁹ We will enter⁹³⁵ into the city,⁵⁸⁹² then the famine⁷⁴⁵⁸ is in the city,⁵⁸⁹² and we shall die⁴¹⁹¹ there:⁸⁰³³ and if⁵¹⁸ we sit³⁴²⁷ still here,⁶³¹¹ we die⁴¹⁹¹ also. Now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore come,¹⁹⁸⁰ and let us fall⁵³⁰⁷ unto⁴¹³ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians:⁷⁵⁸ if⁵¹⁸ they save us alive,²⁴²¹ we shall live;²⁴²¹ and if⁵¹⁸ they kill⁴¹⁹¹ us, we shall but die.⁴¹⁹¹

5  And they rose up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the twilight,⁵³⁹⁹ to go⁹³⁵ unto⁴¹³ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians:⁷⁵⁸ and when they were come⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the uttermost part⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of Syria,⁷⁵⁸ behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there was no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ there.⁸⁰³³

6  For the Lord¹³⁶ had made ⁸⁵³ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ to hear⁸⁰⁸⁵ a noise⁶⁹⁶³ of chariots,⁷³⁹³ and a noise⁶⁹⁶³ of horses,⁵⁴⁸³ even the noise⁶⁹⁶³ of a great¹⁴¹⁹ host:²⁴²⁸ and they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,²⁵¹ Lo,²⁰⁰⁹ the king⁴⁴²⁸ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ hath hired⁷⁹³⁶ against⁵⁹²¹ us ⁸⁵³ the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Hittites,²⁸⁵⁰ and the kings⁴⁴²⁸ of the Egyptians,⁴⁷¹⁴ to come⁹³⁵ upon⁵⁹²¹ us.

7  Wherefore they arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ and fled⁵¹²⁷ in the twilight,⁵³⁹⁹ and left^{5800 853} their tents,¹⁶⁸ and their horses,⁵⁴⁸³ and their asses,²⁵⁴³ even the camp⁴²⁶⁴ as⁸³⁴ it¹⁹³¹ was, and fled⁵¹²⁷ for⁴¹³ their life.⁵³¹⁵

8  And when these⁴²⁸ lepers⁶⁸⁷⁹ came⁹³⁵ to⁵⁷⁰⁴ the uttermost part⁷⁰⁹⁷ of the camp,⁴²⁶⁴ they went⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ one²⁵⁹ tent,¹⁶⁸ and did eat³⁹⁸ and drink,⁸³⁵⁴ and carried⁵³⁷⁵ thence^{4480 8033} silver,³⁷⁰¹ and gold,²⁰⁹¹ and raiment,⁸⁹⁹ and went¹⁹⁸⁰ and hid²⁹³⁴ it; and came again,⁷⁷²⁵ and entered⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ another³¹² tent,¹⁶⁸ and carried⁵³⁷⁵ thence^{4480 8033} also, and went¹⁹⁸⁰ and hid²⁹³⁴ it.

9  Then they said⁵⁵⁹ one³⁷⁶ to⁴¹³ another,⁷⁴⁵³ We⁵⁸⁷ do⁶²¹³ not³⁸⁰⁸ well:³⁶⁵¹ this²⁰⁸⁸ day³¹¹⁷ is a day³¹¹⁷ of good tidings,¹³⁰⁹ and we⁵⁸⁷ hold our peace:²⁸¹⁴ if we tarry²⁴⁴² till⁵⁷⁰⁴ the morning¹²⁴² light,²¹⁶ some mischief⁵⁷⁷¹ will come upon⁴⁶⁷² us: now⁶²⁵⁸ therefore come,¹⁹⁸⁰ that we may go⁹³⁵ and tell⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king's⁴⁴²⁸ household.¹⁰⁰⁴

10  So they came⁹³⁵ and called⁷¹²¹ unto⁴¹³ the porter⁷⁷⁷⁸ of the city:⁵⁸⁹² and they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ them, saying,⁵⁵⁹ We came⁹³⁵ to⁴¹³ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians,⁷⁵⁸ and, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ there was no³⁶⁹ man³⁷⁶ there,⁸⁰³³ neither voice⁶⁹⁶³ of man,¹²⁰ but^{3588 518} horses⁵⁴⁸³ tied,⁶³¹ and asses²⁵⁴³ tied,⁶³¹ and the tents¹⁶⁸ as⁸³⁴ they¹⁹⁹² were.

11  And he called⁷¹²¹ the porters;⁷⁷⁷⁸ and they told⁵⁰⁴⁶ it to the king's⁴⁴²⁸ house¹⁰⁰⁴ within.⁶⁴⁴¹

12  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ arose⁶⁹⁶⁵ in the night,³⁹¹⁵ and said⁵⁵⁹ unto⁴¹³ his servants,⁵⁶⁵⁰ I will now⁴⁹⁹⁴ show⁵⁰⁴⁶ you ⁸⁵³ what⁸³⁴ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ have done⁶²¹³ to us. They know³⁰⁴⁵ that³⁵⁸⁸ we⁵⁸⁷ be hungry;⁷⁴⁵⁷ therefore are they gone out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the camp⁴²⁶⁴ to hide themselves²²⁴⁷ in the field,⁷⁷⁰⁴ saying,⁵⁵⁹ When³⁵⁸⁸ they come out³³¹⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the city,⁵⁸⁹² we shall catch⁸⁶¹⁰ them alive,²⁴¹⁶ and get⁹³⁵ into⁴¹³ the city.⁵⁸⁹²

13  And one²⁵⁹ of his servants^{4480 5650} answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Let some take,³⁹⁴⁷ I pray thee,⁴⁹⁹⁴ five²⁵⁶⁸ of⁴⁴⁸⁰ the horses⁵⁴⁸³ that remain,⁷⁶⁰⁴ which⁸³⁴ are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in the city, (behold,²⁰⁰⁹ they are as all³⁶⁰⁵ the multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ of Israel³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ are left⁷⁶⁰⁴ in it: behold,²⁰⁰⁹ I say, they are even as all³⁶⁰⁵ the multitude¹⁹⁹⁵ of the Israelites³⁴⁷⁸ that⁸³⁴ are consumed:)⁸⁵⁵² and let us send⁷⁹⁷¹ and see.⁷²⁰⁰

14  They took³⁹⁴⁷ therefore two⁸¹⁴⁷ chariot⁷³⁹³ horses;⁵⁴⁸³ and the king⁴⁴²⁸ sent⁷⁹⁷¹ after³¹⁰ the host⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians,⁷⁵⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Go¹⁹⁸⁰ and see.⁷²⁰⁰

15  And they went¹⁹⁸⁰ after³¹⁰ them unto⁵⁷⁰⁴ Jordan:³³⁸³ and, lo,²⁰⁰⁹ all³⁶⁰⁵ the way¹⁸⁷⁰ was full⁴³⁹² of garments⁸⁹⁹ and vessels,³⁶²⁷ which⁸³⁴ the Syrians⁷⁵⁸ had cast away⁷⁹⁹³ in their haste.²⁶⁴⁸ And the messengers⁴³⁹⁷ returned,⁷⁷²⁵ and told⁵⁰⁴⁶ the king.⁴⁴²⁸

16  And the people⁵⁹⁷¹ went out,³³¹⁸ and spoiled^{962 853} the tents⁴²⁶⁴ of the Syrians.⁷⁵⁸ So a measure⁵⁴²⁹ of fine flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ was¹⁹⁶¹ sold for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ and two measures⁵⁴²⁹ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ according to the word¹⁶⁹⁷ of the LORD.³⁰⁶⁸

17  And the king⁴⁴²⁸ appointed^{6485 853} the lord⁷⁹⁹¹ on⁵⁹²¹ whose⁸³⁴ hand³⁰²⁷ he leaned⁸¹⁷² to have the charge of⁵⁹²¹ the gate:⁸¹⁷⁹ and the people⁵⁹⁷¹ trod upon⁷⁴²⁹ him in the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and he died,⁴¹⁹¹ as⁸³⁴ the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ had said,¹⁶⁹⁶ who⁸³⁴ spoke¹⁶⁹⁶ when the king⁴⁴²⁸ came down³³⁸¹ to⁴¹³ him.

18  And it came to pass¹⁹⁶¹ as the man³⁷⁶ of God⁴³⁰ had spoken¹⁶⁹⁶ to⁴¹³ the king,⁴⁴²⁸ saying,⁵⁵⁹ Two measures⁵⁴²⁹ of barley⁸¹⁸⁴ for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ and a measure⁵⁴²⁹ of fine flour⁵⁵⁶⁰ for a shekel,⁸²⁵⁵ shall be¹⁹⁶¹ tomorrow⁴²⁷⁹ about this time⁶²⁵⁶ in the gate⁸¹⁷⁹ of Samaria:⁸¹¹¹

19  And that lord⁷⁹⁹¹ answered^{6030 853} the man³⁷⁶ of God,⁴³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹ Now, behold,²⁰⁰⁹ if the LORD³⁰⁶⁸ should make⁶²¹³ windows⁶⁹⁹ in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ might such²⁰⁸⁸ a thing¹⁶⁹⁷ be?¹⁹⁶¹ And he said,⁵⁵⁹ Behold,²⁰⁰⁹ thou shalt see⁷²⁰⁰ it with thine eyes,⁵⁸⁶⁹ but shalt not³⁸⁰⁸ eat³⁹⁸ thereof.^{4480 8033}

20  And so³⁶⁵¹ it fell out¹⁹⁶¹ unto him: for the people⁵⁹⁷¹ trod upon⁷⁴²⁹ him in the gate,⁸¹⁷⁹ and he died.⁴¹⁹¹

1 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἄκουσον λόγον κυρίου τάδε λέγει κύριος ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας

2 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης ἐφ᾽ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ποιήσει κύριος καταρράκτας ἐν οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ Ελισαιε εἶπεν ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ

3 καὶ τέσσαρες ἄνδρες ἦσαν λεπροὶ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα ὧδε ἕως ἀποθάνωμεν

4 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐὰν καθίσωμεν ὧδε καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα καὶ νῦν δεῦτε καὶ ἐμπέσωμεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας ἐὰν ζωογονήσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ζησόμεθα καὶ ἐὰν θανατώσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα

5 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐν τῷ σκότει εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἦλθον εἰς μέρος τῆς παρεμβολῆς Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκεῖ

6 καὶ κύριος ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας φωνὴν ἅρματος καὶ φωνὴν ἵππου καὶ φωνὴν δυνάμεως μεγάλης καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ νῦν ἐμισθώσατο ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς βασιλέας τῶν Χετταίων καὶ τοὺς βασιλέας Αἰγύπτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐφ᾽ ἡμᾶς

7 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ὡς ἔστιν καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς τὴν ψυχὴν ἑαυτῶν

8 καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ λεπροὶ οὗτοι ἕως μέρους τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν μίαν καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἦραν ἐκεῖθεν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἱματισμὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν ἄλλην καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ κατέκρυψαν

9 καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐχ οὕτως ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἡμέρα εὐαγγελίας ἐστίν καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν καὶ μένομεν ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωὶ καὶ εὑρήσομεν ἀνομίαν καὶ νῦν δεῦρο καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν καὶ ἀναγγείλωμεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως

10 καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς λέγοντες εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ ἀνὴρ καὶ φωνὴ ἀνθρώπου ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἵππος δεδεμένος καὶ ὄνος καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ αὐτῶν ὡς εἰσίν

11 καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ θυρωροὶ καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως ἔσω

12 καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελῶ δὴ ὑμῖν ἃ ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν Συρία ἔγνωσαν ὅτι πεινῶμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐκρύβησαν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ λέγοντες ὅτι ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ συλλημψόμεθα αὐτοὺς ζῶντας καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν εἰσελευσόμεθα

13 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν λαβέτωσαν δὴ πέντε τῶν ἵππων τῶν ὑπολελειμμένων οἳ κατελείφθησαν ὧδε ἰδού εἰσιν πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος Ισραηλ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ὀψόμεθα

14 καὶ ἔλαβον δύο ἐπιβάτας ἵππων καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως Συρίας λέγων δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε

15 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ ὁδὸς πλήρης ἱματίων καὶ σκευῶν ὧν ἔρριψεν Συρία ἐν τῷ θαμβεῖσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ

16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διήρπασεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἐγένετο μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου

17 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατέστησεν τὸν τριστάτην ἐφ᾽ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καθὰ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ καταβῆναι τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν

18 καὶ ἐγένετο καθὰ ἐλάλησεν Ελισαιε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων Δίμετρον κριθῆς σίκλου καὶ μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Σαμαρείας

19 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ κύριος ποιεῖ καταρράκτας ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ

20 καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν

1 Dixit autem Eliseus: Audite verbum Domini: Hæc dicit Dominus: In tempore hoc cras modius similæ uno statere erit, et duo modii hordei statere uno, in porta Samariæ.

2 Respondens unus de ducibus, super cujus manum rex incumbebat, homini Dei, ait: Si Dominus fecerit etiam cataractas in cælo, numquid poterit esse quod loqueris? Qui ait: Videbis oculis tuis, et inde non comedes.

3 Quatuor ergo viri erant leprosi juxta introitum portæ: qui dixerunt ad invicem: Quid hic esse volumus donec moriamur?

4 sive ingredi voluerimus civitatem, fame moriemur: sive manserimus hic, moriendum nobis est: venite ergo, et transfugiamus ad castra Syriæ: si pepercerint nobis, vivemus: si autem occidere voluerint, nihilominus moriemur.

5 Surrexerunt ergo vesperi, ut venirent ad castra Syriæ. Cumque venissent ad principium castrorum Syriæ, nullum ibidem repererunt.

6 Siquidem Dominus sonitum audiri fecerat in castris Syriæ, curruum, et equorum, et exercitus plurimi: dixeruntque ad invicem: Ecce mercede conduxit adversum nos rex Israël reges Hethæorum et Ægyptiorum, et venerunt super nos.

7 Surrexerunt ergo, et fugerunt in tenebris, et dereliquerunt tentoria sua, et equos et asinos, in castris, fugeruntque animas tantum suas salvare cupientes.

8 Igitur cum venissent leprosi illi ad principium castrorum, ingressi sunt unum tabernaculum, et comederunt et biberunt: tuleruntque inde argentum, et aurum, et vestes, et abierunt, et absconderunt: et rursum reversi sunt ad aliud tabernaculum, et inde similiter auferentes absconderunt.

9 Dixeruntque ad invicem: Non recte facimus: hæc enim dies boni nuntii est. Si tacuerimus et noluerimus nuntiare usque mane, sceleris arguemur: venite, eamus, et nuntiemus in aula regis.

10 Cumque venissent ad portam civitatis, narraverunt eis, dicentes: Ivimus ad castra Syriæ, et nullum ibidem reperimus hominem, nisi equos et asinos alligatos, et fixa tentoria.

11 Ierunt ergo portarii, et nuntiaverunt in palatio regis intrinsecus.

12 Qui surrexit nocte, et ait ad servos suos: Dico vobis quid fecerint nobis Syri: sciunt quia fame laboramus, et idcirco egressi sunt de castris, et latitant in agris, dicentes: Cum egressi fuerint de civitate, capiemus eos vivos, et tunc civitatem ingredi poterimus.

13 Respondit autem unus servorum ejus: Tollamus quinque equos qui remanserunt in urbe (quia ipsi tantum sunt in universa multitudine Israël, alii enim consumpti sunt), et mittentes, explorare poterimus.

14 Adduxerunt ergo duos equos, misitque rex in castra Syrorum, dicens: Ite, et videte.

15 Qui abierunt post eos usque ad Jordanem: ecce autem omnis via plena erat vestibus et vasis quæ projecerant Syri cum turbarentur: reversique nuntii indicaverunt regi.

16 Et egressus populus diripuit castra Syriæ: factusque est modius similæ statere uno, et duo modii hordei statere uno, juxta verbum Domini.

17 Porro rex ducem illum, in cujus manu incumbebat, constituit ad portam: quem conculcavit turba in introitu portæ, et mortuus est, juxta quod locutus fuerat vir Dei, quando descenderat rex ad eum.

18 Factumque est secundum sermonem viri Dei quem dixerat regi, quando ait: Duo modii hordei statere uno erunt, et modius similæ statere uno, hoc eodem tempore cras in porta Samariæ:

19 quando responderat dux ille viro Dei, et dixerat: Etiamsi Dominus fecerit cataractas in cælo, numquid poterit fieri quod loqueris? Et dixit ei: Videbis oculis tuis, et inde non comedes.

20 Evenit ergo ei sicut prædictum fuerat, et conculcavit eum populus in porta, et mortuus est.
