2 Kings 7:18 in Context — 2 Kings 7

16 Le peuple sortit, et pilla le camp des Syriens. Et l’on eut une mesure de fleur de farine pour un sicle et deux mesures d’orge pour un sicle, selon la parole de l’Éternel.

17 Le roi avait remis la garde de la porte à l’officier sur la main duquel il s’appuyait; mais cet officier fut écrasé à la porte par le peuple et il mourut, selon la parole qu’avait prononcée l’homme de Dieu quand le roi était descendu vers lui.

18 L’homme de Dieu avait dit alors au roi: On aura deux mesures d’orge pour un sicle et une mesure de fleur de farine pour un sicle, demain, à cette heure, à la porte de Samarie.

19 Et l’officier avait répondu à l’homme de Dieu: Quand l’Éternel ferait des fenêtres au ciel, pareille chose arriverait-elle? Et Élisée avait dit: Tu le verras de tes yeux; mais tu n’en mangeras point.

20 C’est en effet ce qui lui arriva: il fut écrasé à la porte par le peuple, et il mourut.
