  • 7:2 The officer whose arm the king leaned on replied to the man of God, "Even if the LORD were to make floodgates in the heavens, could this really happen?" Elisha replied, "With your own eyes you will see it happen, but you will not eat any of it." 2
  • 7:1 Elisha said, "Listen to the word of the LORD. The LORD says this: 'About this time tomorrow, about 7 quarts of fine flour will sell for about 2/5 ounce of silver, and about 13 quarts of barley for about 2/5 ounce of silver, at the gate of Samaria.'" 1
  • 7:3 Now there were four men with a serious skin disease at the entrance to the city gate. They said to one another, "Why are we sitting here waiting to die?" 1
  • 7:8 When these men with the skin disease reached the edge of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank. They carried off silver, gold and clothing from it and went and hid them. Then they came back, went into another tent, carried off things from there too, and went and hid them. 1
  • 7:19 the officer had answered the man of God, "Even if the LORD were to make floodgates in the heavens, could such a thing happen?" And Elisha had replied, "With your own eyes you will see it happen, but you will not eat any of it." 1
