2 Kings 7:17 in Context — 2 Kings 7

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.

19 Ao qual aquele príncipe havia respondido ao homem de Deus, dizendo: Ainda que o SENHOR fizesse janelas no céu, poderia ser isso? E ele disse: Eis que tu o verás com teus olhos, mas não comerás disso.
