2 Kings 7:1
<< 2 Kings 7:1 >>
Then Elisha said, "Listen to the word of the LORD; thus says the LORD, 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'" (NASB ©1995)

2 Kings 7:18 It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria." (NASB ©1995)


Then Elisha said, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.

1,2 Elisha prophesies incredible plenty in Samaria 3-11 four lepers, venturing on the host of the Syrians, bring tidings of their flight 12-16 The king, finding by spies the news to be true, spoils the tents of the Syrians. 17-20 The lord who would not believe the prophecy of plenty, having the charge of the gate, is trodden to death in the press

a measure of fine flour A seah of flour: the seah was about two gallons and a half; the shekel 2s. 4d. at the lowest computation: a wide difference between this and the price of the ass's head. 2Ki 6:25 Re 6:6

of barley 2Ki 4:42 Joh 6:9

in the gate of Samaria From this it appears that the gates were not only used as courts of judicature, but as market-places. So Mr. Morier observe: `In our rides we usually went out of the town at the {Derwazeh Shah Abdul}, of the gate leading to the village of Shah Abdul Azeem, where a market was held every morning, particularly of horses, mules, asses, and camels. At about sun-rise, the owners of the animals assemble and exhibit them for sale. But besides, here were sellers of all sorts of goods, in temporary shops and tents: and this, perhaps, will explain the custom alluded to in 2ki 7:18.'
