1Elisha was like, "Yo, listen up! The Lord's got a word: Tomorrow, a vibe check says fine flour's gonna drop for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, right at the gate of Samaria."

2Then a dude who was tight with the king was like, "No cap, if the Lord opened windows in heaven, could that even happen?" And Elisha replied, "You’ll see it with your own eyes, but you ain't gonna eat any of it."

3Four lepers were chilling at the gate, and they were like, "Why are we just sitting here until we kick the bucket?"

4They said, "If we go into the city, there's a famine and we’ll die there. If we stick around here, we die too. So, let’s roll over to the Syrians’ camp; if they save us, cool, we live; if not, we just die."

5They got up at twilight and headed to the Syrians’ camp, and when they got there, it was empty, no one was around.

6The Lord made the Syrians hear chariot sounds and horses galloping, like a whole army, and they were like, "Bet, the king of Israel hired the Hittites and Egyptians to come at us."

7So they bounced in the dark, leaving their tents, horses, and donkeys behind, just running for their lives.

8When the lepers got to the camp, they hit up one tent, feasted, and snagged silver, gold, and clothes, then hid that stuff. Then they went to another tent, did the same, and hid it again.

9They were like, "This is sus, we can't just sit here. Today’s a day of good news, and we’re keeping it to ourselves. If we wait till morning, something bad's gonna happen. Let’s go spill the tea to the king’s crew."

10So they went and called the city gatekeeper, saying, "We checked out the Syrians' camp, and it was empty, no one there, just tied-up horses and donkeys, and tents still set up."

11He called the porters, and they told the king's house what was up.

12The king woke up at night and said to his servants, "Let me tell you what the Syrians are up to. They know we’re starving, so they dipped from the camp to hide in the fields, thinking they can catch us when we come out."

13One of his servants was like, "Let’s grab five of the leftover horses in the city; they’re just like all the Israelites left here. Let’s send a squad to check it out."

14They took two chariot horses, and the king was like, "Go see what’s popping."

15They chased after the Syrians to the Jordan, and the whole way was littered with clothes and stuff the Syrians ditched in their rush. The messengers came back and told the king.

16The people went out and raided the Syrians' tents. So, fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, just like the Lord said.

17The king put the dude he leaned on in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him there, just like the man of God said when the king came down.

18And it happened just like the man of God told the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, will drop tomorrow at the gate of Samaria."

19That dude answered the man of God again, "For real, if the Lord opened windows in heaven, could that happen?" And Elisha said, "You’ll see it with your own eyes, but you ain't gonna eat any of it."

20And it went down just like that: the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.

1Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

2Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?

4If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.

5And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.

6For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

7Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and went and hid it.

9Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.

10So they came and called unto the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.

11And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.

12And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

13And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.

14They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

15And they went after them unto Jordan: and, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.

16And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

17And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.

18And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:

19And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the Lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

20And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.
