2 Kings 7:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ The men followed the Aramean army as far as the Jordan River. The road was full of clothes and equipment that the Arameans had thrown away as they had hurriedly left. So the messengers returned and told the king. ¹⁶ Then the people went out and ·took valuables from [plundered; ransacked] the Aramean camp. So ·seven quarts [a measure/^Lseah] of fine flour were sold for ·two-fifths of an ounce of silver [^La shekel], and ·thirteen quarts [two measures/^Lseahs; 7:1] of barley were sold for ·two-fifths of an ounce of silver [^La shekel], ·just as the Lord had said [^Lin accordance with the word of the Lord].

¹⁷ The king ·chose [appointed] the officer ·who was close to him [^Lon whose arm he leaned] to guard the gate, but the people trampled the officer to death. This happened just as ·Elisha [the man of God] had told the king when the king came to his house.
