00:00.000 --> 00:05.800
Chapter 7, Then Elisha said, Hear ye the
word of the Lord.

00:06.980 --> 00:13.060
Thus saith the Lord, Tomorrow,
about this time, shall a measure of fine

00:13.060 --> 00:17.680
flour be sold for a shekel, and two
measures of barley for a shekel,

00:17.920 --> 00:19.460
in the gate of Samaria.

00:19.780 --> 00:23.180
Then a lord, on whose hand the king
leaned, answered the man of God,

00:23.360 --> 00:28.320
and said, Behold, if the Lord would make
windows in heaven, might this thing be?

00:28.320 --> 00:33.700
And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it
with thine eyes, but shalt not eat

00:33.700 --> 00:34.200
thereof.

00:34.420 --> 00:37.600
And there were four leprous men at the
entering inn of the gate.

00:37.840 --> 00:41.240
And they said to one another, Why sit we
here until we die?

00:41.560 --> 00:45.860
If we say, we will enter into the city,
then the famine is in the city,

00:46.260 --> 00:47.440
and we shall die there.

00:48.180 --> 00:50.580
And if we sit still here, we die also.

00:50.880 --> 00:54.680
Now therefore come, and let us fall unto
the host of the Syrians.

00:54.680 --> 00:57.260
If they save us alive, we shall live.

00:58.160 --> 01:00.920
And if they kill us, we shall die.

01:01.400 --> 01:04.860
And they rose up in the twilight to go
unto the camp of the Syrians.

01:05.920 --> 01:09.820
And when they were come to the uttermost
part of the camp of Syria, behold,

01:10.360 --> 01:11.520
there was no man there.

01:11.920 --> 01:15.520
For the Lord had made the host of the
Syrians to hear a noise of chariots,

01:15.820 --> 01:19.060
and a noise of horses, even the noise of a
great host.

01:19.540 --> 01:24.180
And they said one to another, Lo,
the king of Israel hath hired against us

01:24.180 --> 01:28.360
the kings of the Hittites and the kings of
the Egyptians to come upon us.

01:28.640 --> 01:31.940
Wherefore they arose and fled in the
twilight, and left their tents,

01:32.180 --> 01:36.400
and their horses, and their asses,
even the camp as it was, and fled for

01:36.400 --> 01:36.900
their life.

01:37.440 --> 01:41.340
And when these lepers came to the
uttermost part of the camp, they went into

01:41.340 --> 01:45.800
one tent, and did eat and drink,
and carried thence silver and gold and

01:45.800 --> 01:50.200
raiment, and went and hid it, and came
again, and entered into another tent,

01:50.640 --> 01:53.300
and carried thence also, and went and hid
it.

01:53.300 --> 01:56.400
Then they said one to another,
We do not well.

01:57.200 --> 02:00.980
This day is a day of good tidings,
and we hold our peace.

02:01.760 --> 02:05.560
If we tarry to the morning light,
some mischief will come upon us.

02:06.160 --> 02:10.240
Now therefore come, that we may go and
tell the king's household.

02:10.480 --> 02:14.600
So they came and called unto the porter of
the city, and they told him, saying,

02:14.860 --> 02:18.920
We came to the camp of the Syrians,
and behold, there was no man there,

02:19.020 --> 02:24.540
neither voice of man, but horses tied and
asses tied, and the tents as they were.

02:24.900 --> 02:27.940
And he called the porters, and they told
it to the king's house within.

02:28.980 --> 02:32.660
And the king arose in the night and said
unto his servants, I will now show you

02:32.660 --> 02:34.460
what the Syrians have done to us.

02:34.940 --> 02:36.580
They know that we be hungry.

02:37.120 --> 02:41.500
Therefore are they gone out of the camp to
hide themselves in the field, saying,

02:41.960 --> 02:46.720
When they come out of the city,
we shall catch them alive and get into the

02:46.720 --> 02:46.960
city.

02:47.280 --> 02:51.840
And one of his servants answered and said,
Let some take, I pray thee, five of the

02:51.840 --> 02:53.960
horses that remain which are left in the
city.

02:54.740 --> 02:58.580
Behold, they are as all the multitude of
Israel that are left in it.

02:59.020 --> 03:02.960
Behold, I say, they are even as all the
multitude of the Israelites that are

03:02.960 --> 03:05.680
consumed, and let us send and see.

03:06.100 --> 03:10.340
They took therefore two chariot horses,
and the king sent after the host of the

03:10.340 --> 03:12.340
Syrians, saying, Go and see.

03:12.580 --> 03:14.080
And they went after them unto Jordan.

03:14.520 --> 03:19.240
And lo, all the way was full of garments
and vessels, which the Syrians had cast

03:19.240 --> 03:20.400
away in their haste.

03:20.900 --> 03:22.820
And the messengers returned and told the
king.

03:23.460 --> 03:26.520
And the people went out and spoiled the
tents of the Syrians.

03:27.160 --> 03:32.060
So a measure of fine flour was sold for a
shekel, and two measures of barley for a

03:32.060 --> 03:34.260
shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

03:34.640 --> 03:37.980
And the king appointed the Lord,
on whose hand he leaned, to have the

03:37.980 --> 03:38.820
charge of the gate.

03:39.220 --> 03:44.120
And the people trod upon him in the gate,
and he died, as the man of God had said,

03:44.620 --> 03:46.440
who spake when the king came down to him.

03:46.440 --> 03:51.460
And it came to pass, as the man of God had
spoken to the king, saying, Two measures

03:51.460 --> 03:56.360
of barley for a shekel, and a measure of
fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow

03:56.360 --> 03:58.580
about this time in the gate of Samaria.

03:59.220 --> 04:04.560
And that Lord answered the man of God,
and said, Now behold, if the Lord should

04:04.560 --> 04:07.260
make windows in heaven, might such a thing
be?

04:07.780 --> 04:14.020
And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it
with thine eyes, but shalt not eat

04:14.020 --> 04:14.580
thereof.

04:15.220 --> 04:19.240
And so it fell out unto him, for the
people trod upon him in the gate,

04:19.660 --> 04:20.260
and he died.
