2 Kings 7:3 in Context — 2 Kings 7

1 Disse então Eliseu: Ouvi a palavra do SENHOR: Assim disse o SENHOR: Amanhã a estas horas a medida de boa farinha valerá um siclo, e duas medidas de cevada um siclo, à porta de Samaria.

2 E um príncipe sobre cuja mão o rei se apoiava, respondeu ao homem de Deus, e disse: Se o SENHOR fizesse agora janelas no céu, seria isto assim? E ele disse: Eis que tu o verás com teus olhos, mas não comerás disso.

3 E havia quatro homens leprosos à entrada da porta, os quais disseram o um ao outro: Para que nos estamos aqui até que morramos?

4 Se tratarmos de entrar na cidade, pela fome que há na cidade morreremos nela; e se nos ficamos aqui, também morreremos. Vamos pois agora, e passemo-nos ao exército dos sírios; se eles nos derem a vida, viveremos; e se nos derem a morte, morreremos.

5 Levantaram-se pois no princípio da noite, para ir-se ao campo dos sírios; e chegando aos primeiros abrigos dos sírios, não havia ali homem.
