2 Kings 7:16 in Context — 2 Kings 7

14 Tomaram, pois, dois cavalos de um carro, e enviou o rei atrás o campo dos sírios, dizendo: Ide, e vede.

15 E eles foram, e seguiram-nos até o Jordão: e eis que, todo o caminho estava cheio de roupas e utensílios que os sírios haviam lançado com a pressa. E voltaram os mensageiros, e fizeram-no saber ao rei.

16 Então o povo saiu, e saquearam o campo dos sírios. E foram vendidos uma medida boa de farinha por um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada por um siclo, conforme a palavra do SENHOR.

17 E o rei pôs à porta a aquele príncipe sobre cuja mão ele se apoiava: e atropelou-lhe o povo à entrada, e morreu, conforme o que havia dito o homem de Deus, o que falou quando o rei desceu a ele.

18 Aconteceu, pois, da maneira que o homem de Deus havia falado ao rei, dizendo: Duas medidas de cevada por um siclo, e a medida de boa farinha será vendida por um siclo amanhã a estas horas, à porta de Samaria.
