2 Kings 7:16 in Context — 2 Kings 7

14 Tomaron pues dos caballos de un carro, y envió el rey tras el campo de los Siros, diciendo: Id, y ved.

15 Y ellos fueron, y siguiéronlos hasta el Jordán: y he aquí, todo el camino estaba lleno de vestidos y enseres que los Siros habían arrojado con la premura. Y volvieron los mensajeros, é hiciéronlo saber al rey.

16 Entonces el pueblo salió, y saquearon el campo de los Siros. Y fué [vendido] un seah de flor de harina por un siclo, y dos seah de cebada por un siclo, conforme á la palabra de Jehová.

17 Y el rey puso á la puerta á aquel príncipe sobre cuya mano él se apoyaba: y atropellóle el pueblo á la entrada, y murió, conforme á lo que había dicho el varón de Dios, lo que habló cuando el rey descendió á él.

18 Aconteció pues de la manera que el varón de Dios había hablado al rey, diciendo: Dos seah de cebada por un siclo, y el seah de flor de harina será [vendido] por un siclo mañana á estas horas, á la puerta de Samaria.
