2 Kings 7

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 dixit autem Heliseus audite verbum Domini haec dicit Dominus in tempore hoc cras modius similae uno statere erit et duo modii hordei statere uno in porta Samariae

2 respondens unus de ducibus super cuius manum rex incumbebat homini Dei ait si Dominus fecerit etiam cataractas in caelo numquid poterit esse quod loqueris qui ait videbis oculis tuis et inde non comedes

3 quattuor ergo viri erant leprosi iuxta introitum portae qui dixerunt ad invicem quid hic esse volumus donec moriamur

4 sive ingredi voluerimus civitatem fame moriemur sive manserimus hic moriendum nobis est venite igitur et transfugiamus ad castra Syriae si pepercerint nobis vivemus si autem occidere voluerint nihilominus moriemur

5 surrexerunt igitur vesperi ut venirent ad castra Syriae cumque venissent ad principium castrorum Syriae nullum ibidem reppererunt

6 siquidem Dominus sonitum audiri fecerat in castris Syriae curruum et equorum et exercitus plurimi dixeruntque ad invicem ecce mercede conduxit adversum nos rex Israhel reges Hettheorum et Aegyptiorum et venerunt super nos

7 surrexerunt ergo et fugerunt in tenebris et dereliquerunt tentoria sua et equos et asinos in castris fugeruntque animas tantum suas salvare cupientes

8 igitur cum venissent leprosi illi ad principium castrorum ingressi sunt unum tabernaculum et comederunt et biberunt tuleruntque inde argentum et aurum et vestes et abierunt et absconderunt et rursum reversi sunt ad aliud tabernaculum et inde similiter auferentes absconderunt

9 dixeruntque ad invicem non recte facimus haec enim dies boni nuntii est si tacuerimus et noluerimus nuntiare usque mane sceleris arguemur venite eamus et nuntiemus in aula regis

10 cumque venissent ad portam civitatis narraverunt eis dicentes ivimus ad castra Syriae et nullum ibidem repperimus hominum nisi equos et asinos alligatos et fixa tentoria

11 ierunt ergo portarii et nuntiaverunt in palatio regis intrinsecus

12 qui surrexit nocte et ait ad servos suos dico vobis quid fecerint nobis Syri sciunt quia fame laboramus et idcirco egressi sunt de castris et latitant in agris dicentes cum egressi fuerint de civitate capiemus eos viventes et tunc civitatem ingredi poterimus

13 respondit autem unus servorum eius tollamus quinque equos qui remanserunt in urbe quia ipsi tantum sunt in universa multitudine Israhel alii enim consumpti sunt et mittentes explorare poterimus

14 adduxerunt ergo duos equos misitque rex ad castra Syrorum dicens ite videte

15 qui abierunt post eos usque ad Iordanem ecce autem omnis via plena erat vestibus et vasis quae proiecerant Syri cum turbarentur reversique nuntii indicaverunt regi

16 et egressus populus diripuit castra Syriae factusque est modius similae statere uno et duo modii hordei statere uno iuxta verbum Domini

17 porro rex ducem illum in cuius manu incubuerat constituit ad portam quem conculcavit turba in introitu et mortuus est iuxta quod locutus fuerat vir Dei quando descenderat rex ad eum

18 factumque est secundum sermonem viri Dei quem dixerat regi quando ait duo modii hordei statere uno erunt et modius similae statere uno hoc eodem tempore cras in porta Samariae

19 quando responderat dux ille viro Dei et dixerat etiam si Dominus fecerit cataractas in caelo numquid fieri poterit quod loqueris et dixit ei videbis oculis tuis et inde non comedes

20 evenit ergo ei sicut praedictum erat et conculcavit eum populus in porta et mortuus est

New King James Version NKJV

1 Then Elisha said, "Hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: 'Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.' "

2 So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, "Look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?" And he said, "In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."

3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, "Why are we sitting here until we die?

4 If we say, 'We will enter the city,' the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore, come, let us surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall only die."

5 And they rose at twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians; and when they had come to the outskirts of the Syrian camp, to their surprise no one was there.

6 For the Lord had caused the army of the Syrians to hear the noise of chariots and the noise of horses--the noise of a great army; so they said to one another, "Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us!"

7 Therefore they arose and fled at twilight, and left the camp intact--their tents, their horses, and their donkeys--and they fled for their lives.

8 And when these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried from it silver and gold and clothing, and went and hid them; then they came back and entered another tent, and carried some from there also, and went and hid it.

9 Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we remain silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king's household."

10 So they went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and told them, saying, "We went to the Syrian camp, and surprisingly no one was there, not a human sound--only horses and donkeys tied, and the tents intact."

11 And the gatekeepers called out, and they told it to the king's household inside.

12 So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.' "

13 And one of his servants answered and said, "Please, let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city. Look, they may either become like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; or indeed, I say, they may become like all the multitude of Israel left from those who are consumed; so let us send them and see."

14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them in the direction of the Syrian army, saying, "Go and see."

15 And they went after them to the Jordan; and indeed all the road was full of garments and weapons which the Syrians had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and told the king.

16 Then the people went out and plundered the tents of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.

17 Now the king had appointed the officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate. But the people trampled him in the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

18 So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria."

19 Then that officer had answered the man of God, and said, "Now look, if the Lord would make windows in heaven, could such a thing be?" And he had said, "In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it."

20 And so it happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
