2nd Kings Chapter 7 - King James Strong Number Version

1: Then Elisha <H0477> said, <H0559> Hear <H8085> ye the word <H1697> of the LORD; <H3068> Thus saith <H0559> the LORD, <H3068> To morrow <H4279> about this time <H6256> [shall] a measure <H5429> of fine flour <H5560> [be sold] for a shekel, <H8255> and two measures <H5429> of barley <H8184> for a shekel, <H8255> in the gate <H8179> of Samaria. <H8111>
2: Then a lord <H7991> on whose hand <H3027> the king <H4428> leaned <H8172> answered <H6030> the man <H0376> of God, <H0430> and said, <H0559> Behold, [if] the LORD <H3068> would make <H6213> windows <H0699> in heaven, <H8064> might this thing <H1697> be? And he said, <H0559> Behold, thou shalt see <H7200> [it] with thine eyes, <H5869> but shalt not eat <H0398> thereof.
3: And there were four <H0702> leprous <H6879> men <H0582> at the entering in <H6607> of the gate: <H8179> and they said <H0559> one <H0376> to another, <H7453> Why sit <H3427> we here until we die? <H4191>
4: If we say, <H0559> We will enter <H0935> into the city, <H5892> then the famine <H7458> [is] in the city, <H5892> and we shall die <H4191> there: and if we sit still <H3427> here, we die <H4191> also. Now therefore come, <H3212> and let us fall <H5307> unto the host <H4264> of the Syrians: <H0758> if they save us alive, <H2421> we shall live; <H2421> and if they kill <H4191> us, we shall but die. <H4191>
5: And they rose up <H6965> in the twilight, <H5399> to go <H0935> unto the camp <H4264> of the Syrians: <H0758> and when they were come <H0935> to the uttermost part <H7097> of the camp <H4264> of Syria, <H0758> behold, [there was] no man <H0376> there.
6: For the Lord <H0136> had made the host <H4264> of the Syrians <H0758> to hear <H8085> a noise <H6963> of chariots, <H7393> and a noise <H6963> of horses, <H5483> [even] the noise <H6963> of a great <H1419> host: <H2428> and they said <H0559> one <H0376> to another, <H0251> Lo, the king <H4428> of Israel <H3478> hath hired <H7936> against us the kings <H4428> of the Hittites, <H2850> and the kings <H4428> of the Egyptians, <H4714> to come <H0935> upon us.
7: Wherefore they arose <H6965> and fled <H5127> in the twilight, <H5399> and left <H5800> their tents, <H0168> and their horses, <H5483> and their asses, <H2543> even the camp <H4264> as it [was], and fled <H5127> for their life. <H5315>
8: And when these lepers <H6879> came <H0935> to the uttermost part <H7097> of the camp, <H4264> they went <H0935> into one <H0259> tent, <H0168> and did eat <H0398> and drink, <H8354> and carried <H5375> thence silver, <H3701> and gold, <H2091> and raiment, <H0899> and went <H3212> and hid <H2934> [it]; and came again, <H7725> and entered <H0935> into another <H0312> tent, <H0168> and carried <H5375> thence [also], and went <H3212> and hid <H2934> [it].
9: Then they said <H0559> one <H0376> to another, <H7453> We do <H6213> not well: this day <H3117> [is] a day <H3117> of good tidings, <H1309> and we hold our peace: <H2814> if we tarry <H2442> till the morning <H1242> light, <H0216> some mischief <H5771> will come upon <H4672> us: now therefore come, <H3212> that we may go <H0935> and tell <H5046> the king's <H4428> household. <H1004>
10: So they came <H0935> and called <H7121> unto the porter <H7778> of the city: <H5892> and they told <H5046> them, saying, <H0559> We came <H0935> to the camp <H4264> of the Syrians, <H0758> and, behold, [there was] no man <H0376> there, neither voice <H6963> of man, <H0120> but horses <H5483> tied, <H0631> and asses <H2543> tied, <H0631> and the tents <H0168> as they [were].
11: And he called <H7121> the porters; <H7778> and they told <H5046> [it] to the king's <H4428> house <H1004> within. <H6441>
12: And the king <H4428> arose <H6965> in the night, <H3915> and said <H0559> unto his servants, <H5650> I will now shew <H5046> you what the Syrians <H0758> have done <H6213> to us. They know <H3045> that we [be] hungry; <H7457> therefore are they gone out <H3318> of the camp <H4264> to hide <H2247> themselves in the field, <H7704> saying, <H0559> When they come out <H3318> of the city, <H5892> we shall catch <H8610> them alive, <H2416> and get <H0935> into the city. <H5892>
13: And one <H0259> of his servants <H5650> answered <H6030> and said, <H0559> Let [some] take, <H3947> I pray thee, five <H2568> of the horses <H5483> that remain, <H7604> which are left <H7604> in the city, (behold, they [are] as all the multitude <H1995> of Israel <H3478> that are left <H7604> in it: behold, [I say], they [are] even as all the multitude <H1995> of the Israelites <H3478> that are consumed:) <H8552> and let us send <H7971> and see. <H7200>
14: They took <H3947> therefore two <H8147> chariot <H7393> horses; <H5483> and the king <H4428> sent <H7971> after <H0310> the host <H4264> of the Syrians, <H0758> saying, <H0559> Go <H3212> and see. <H7200>
15: And they went <H3212> after <H0310> them unto Jordan: <H3383> and, lo, all the way <H1870> [was] full <H4392> of garments <H0899> and vessels, <H3627> which the Syrians <H0758> had cast away <H7993> in their haste. <H2648> And the messengers <H4397> returned, <H7725> and told <H5046> the king. <H4428>
16: And the people <H5971> went out, <H3318> and spoiled <H0962> the tents <H4264> of the Syrians. <H0758> So a measure <H5429> of fine flour <H5560> was [sold] for a shekel, <H8255> and two measures <H5429> of barley <H8184> for a shekel, <H8255> according to the word <H1697> of the LORD. <H3068>
17: And the king <H4428> appointed <H6485> the lord <H7991> on whose hand <H3027> he leaned <H8172> to have the charge of the gate: <H8179> and the people <H5971> trode <H7429> upon him in the gate, <H8179> and he died, <H4191> as the man <H0376> of God <H0430> had said, <H1696> who spake <H1696> when the king <H4428> came down <H3381> to him.
18: And it came to pass as the man <H0376> of God <H0430> had spoken <H1696> to the king, <H4428> saying, <H0559> Two measures <H5429> of barley <H8184> for a shekel, <H8255> and a measure <H5429> of fine flour <H5560> for a shekel, <H8255> shall be to morrow <H4279> about this time <H6256> in the gate <H8179> of Samaria: <H8111>
19: And that lord <H7991> answered <H6030> the man <H0376> of God, <H0430> and said, <H0559> Now, behold, [if] the LORD <H3068> should make <H6213> windows <H0699> in heaven, <H8064> might such a thing <H1697> be? And he said, <H0559> Behold, thou shalt see <H7200> it with thine eyes, <H5869> but shalt not eat <H0398> thereof.
20: And so it fell out unto him: for the people <H5971> trode <H7429> upon him in the gate, <H8179> and he died. <H4191>
