The .vij. Chapter.
Eliseus prophesyeth plenteousnes of vytayles ∧
other thynges to Samaria. The Syry&abar;s r&ubar;ne away
and haue no man folowyng th&ebar; The Lord that wold
not beleue the worde of Heliseus is troden to death.
A Then Heliseus sayde: heare the
worde of the Lorde, for thus
sayth the Lorde: to morowe this
tyme a boushell of fyne floure
shalbe solde for a sycle, ∧ two
boushelles of Barley for another in the gates
of Samaria. Then a great Lorde on whose
hande the kyng leaned, aunswered the man
of God and sayde, though the Lorde woulde
make wyndowes in heauen, yet wolde not
thys be. And he sayde agayne: Behold, thou
shalt se it with thyne eyes and shalte not eate
thereof.
And there were foure lepers set withoute
the Gate of Samaria. And they sayde eche to
hys companyon, what syt we here vntyll we
dye? though we thoughte that we myghte come
into the cytye, yet is the darth so greate in
the cytye, that we shall there dye. And yf we
tarye here, we are but dead also Now therfor
come and let vs flee to the hoste of the Siryans:
If they save oure lyues, we shall lyue:
And yf they kyll vs, then are we dead. And
so they arose in the darcke to go to the hoste of
the Syryans. And when they were come to þe;
syde of the hoste of Syrya: se, there was no
man there.
B For the Lord had made the hoste of the Syryans
heare a noyse of charettes ∧ a noyse of
horsses, and the noyse of a great hoste. In so
muche that they sayde one to another: se, the
kynge of Israell hath hyred agaynste vs, the
kynges of the Hethites ∧ the kynges of Egypte,
to come vpon vs. And vpon that they arose,
and fled in the darcke, ∧ left theyr tentes,
theyr horsses, theyr asses and the feld they had
pytched euen as it was, and fled for theyr lyues.
And when these lepers came to the edge
of the hoste, they wente into a tente, and dyd
eate and dryncke, and caryed thence syluer,
goulde and raymente, and wente and hydde
it, and came agayne, and entred into another,
∧ caryed thence also, and wente, and hyde it.
C Then they sayde one to another: it is not
wel that we do, for thys day is a day to bring
tydynges And yf we holde oure peace, ∧ tary
tyll it be day lyght, we shal find a myscheue.
Now therfore come, let vs go and tell the kinges
housholde. And so they went and called
to the porter of the cytye and tolde them sayinge:
we came to the pauylyons of the Syri&abar;s
and se, there was no man there, neyther voyce
of man, but horsses and asses tyed, ∧ the t&ebar;tes
euen as they were.
Then the porters called ∧ tolde the kynges
house wythin. And the kynge arose in þe; night
and sayde to hys seruauntes: I wyll shewe
you, howe the Syryans haue serued vs. They
knowe that we are oppressed wyth hungre ∧
therfore are gone oute of theyr pauylyons to
hyde them selues in the felde, sayinge: They
wyll come out of the cytye, and then we shall
catche them alyue and get into the cytye. And
one of hys seruauntes aunswered, and sayde:
Let men take fyue of the horsses that remayne
and are lefte in the cytye. Beholde they are as
good, as all the multitude that are lefte in the
cytye: and as good as all the multytude of the
cytye that are consumed, and let vs sende and
se. And they toke two charettes of horses, and
the kynge sente after the hoste of the Syryans
saying: go and se.
D And they folowed after th&ebar;
euen vnto Iordan: and se, all the way was ful
of clothes and vesselles which the Syry&abar;s had
cast from them for haste.
And the messengers returned and tolde the
kynge. And then the people wente oute ∧ robbed
the tentes of the Syryans. And so a busshel
of floure was solde for a sycle, and .ij. busshelles
of barley for a sycle, accordynge to the
worde of the Lorde. And the kynge set the
Lorde on whose hande he leaned, to kepe the
gate. And the people troade hym in the gate,
that he dyed, accordynge to the sayinge of the
man of God whiche he sayde, when the kyng
came doune to him. And it came to passe accordyng
to the word of the m&abar; of God to the k&ibar;g
sayinge: two bushelles of barleye for a sycle ∧
a bushell of barleye for another shalbe to morowe
this time in the gates of Samaria. And
the Lorde aunswered the man of God ∧ sayd:
though the Lorde made wyndowes in heau&ebar;,
yet wolde thys not be. And the other sayde:
Beholde, thou shalt se it with thyne eyes, and
shalt not eate thereof. And so it chaunged: for
the people troade hym vnder fete in the gate,
that he dyed.
