12:007:011 And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s
           house within.

12:007:012 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I
           will now shew you what the Syrians have done to us.  They know
           that we be hungry; therefore are they 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.

12:007:013 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I
           pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in
           the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel
           that are left in it:  behold, I say, they are even as all the
           multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us
           send and see.

12:007:014 They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent
           after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.

12:007:015 And they went after them unto Jordan:  and, lo, all the way was
           full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away
           in their haste.  And the messengers returned, and told the
           king.

12:007:016 And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. 
           So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two
           measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the
           lord.

12:007:017 And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to
           have the charge of the gate:  and the people trode upon him in
           the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake
           when the king came down to him.

12:007:018 And it came to pass 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, shall be to morrow about this time in
           the gate of Samaria: 

12:007:019 And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold,
           if the lord should make windows in heaven, might such a thing
           be?  And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes,
           but shalt not eat thereof.

12:007:020 And so it fell out unto him:  for the people trode upon him in
           the gate, and he died.

12:008:001 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to
           life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and
           sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn:  for the lord hath
           called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land
           seven years.

12:008:002 And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of
           God:  and she went with her household, and sojourned in the
           land of the Philistines seven years.
