2 Kings 7:18-20
International Standard Version
18 It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king:
“At about this time tomorrow, in Samaria’s city gate, a seah[a] of finely ground flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel.”
19 But the royal attendant on whom the king depended responded to the man of God: “Look here! Even if the Lord were to make a window in the sky, how could this happen?”
He replied, “No, you look! You’ll see it with your eyes, but you won’t eat any of it!”[b]
20 And so it happened to him, because the people trampled him in the city gate and he died.
