Chap. VII.
Eliseus prophecieth plentie of corne the next day, and death to a chief man
that wil not beleue it. 3. Foure Lepers going to yeld themselues to the Syrians,
6. who by Gods prouidence are frighted and fled away, 9. bring
newes therof to Samaria, 12. which by trial is found true, 16. And so
there is plentie of corne, and the incredulous nobleman is trod to death,
with presse of multitude in the gate, as the prophet fortold.
1 And Eliseus sayd: Heare ye the word of our Lord: Thus
sayth our Lord: At this time to morow a bushel of
floure shal be at one stater, and two bushels of barley at one
stater, in the gate of Samaria.
2 One of the Dukes, vpon
whose hand the king leaned, answearing the man of God,
sayd: If our Lord shal make fludgates in heauen, note can that
possibly be which thou speakest? Who sayd: Thou shalt see it
with thine eies, and shalt not eate therof.
3 There were
therfore foure men lepers, beside the entrance of the gate:
who sayd one to an other: What meane we to be here til we
die?
4 Whether we enter into the citie, we shal die for famine:
or whether we tarie here, die we must; come therfore,
and let vs runne away to the campe of Syria. If they spare vs,
we shal liue: but if they wil kil vs, we shal die neuerthelesse.
5 They arose therfore in the euening, to come to the campe
of Syria. And when they were come to the beginning of the
campe of Syria, they found no man there.
6 For our Lord
had made them in the campe of Syria to heare the sound of
chariotes, and horses, and of a verie great armie: and they
sayd one to an other: Behold the king of Israel hath for wages
hyred agaynst vs the kinges of the Hetheites, and of the Ægyptians,
and they are come vpon vs.
7 They arose therfore, and
fled in the darke, and leaft their tentes, and their horses and
asses in the campe, and fled desirous to saue their liues only.
8 Therfore when these lepers were come to the beginning
of the campe, they entered into one tabernacle, and did eate
and drinke: and they tooke thence siluer, and gold, and
rayment, and went, and hid it: againe they returned to an
other tabernacle, and from thence likewise taking away they
hid it.
9 And they said one to an other: We doe not wel: for
this is a day of good tydinges. If we shal hold our peace, and
wil not tel vntil morning, we shal be blamed of a heinous
offence: Come, let vs goe, and make report in the kinges

court.
10 And when they were come to the gate of the citie,
they told them saying: We went to the campe of Syria, and
found no man there, but horses, and asses tyed, and the tentes
pitched.
11 The porters therfore went, and told it to the king
within his palace.
12 Who arose in the night, & sayd to his seruants:
I tel you what the Syrians haue done to vs: They
know that we suffer great famine, and therfore they are gone
out of the campe and lie hid in the fieldes, saying: When they
shal come forth out of the citie, we wil take them aliue, and
then we may enter into the citie.
13 But one of his seruantes
answered: Let vs take fiue horses that are remaining in the
citie (because they onlie are in the whole multitude of Israel
for the other are consumed) and sending, we may trie.
14 They
brought therfore two horses, and the king sent into the
campe of the Syrians, saying, Goe ye, and see.
15 Who went
after them as far as Iordan: and behold al the way was ful
of ravment, and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away,
when they were amased, and the messengers returning told
the king.
16 And the people going forth spoyled the campe of
Syria: and a bushel of floure became at one stater, and two
bushels of barley at one stater, according to the word of
our Lord.
17 Moreouer the king appoynted that duke
on whose hand he leaned, to stand at the gate: whom the
multitude trode in the entrance of the gate, & he died, according
as the man of God had spoken, when the king came
downe to him
18 And it came to passe according to the word of
the man of God, which he spake to the king, when he sayd:
Two bushels of barley shal be at one stater, and a bushel of
floure at one stater, this verie tyme to morow it the gate of
Samaria:
19 when that duke answered the man of God, and
sayd: Although our Lord would make fludgates in the heauen,
can this be done which thou speakest? And he said to him:
Thou shalt see with thine eies, and shal not eate therof.
20 It
chanced therfore to him as it was foretold, and the people
trode him in the gate, and he died.
