2 Kings 7:2-4

Christian Standard Bible

² Then the captain, the king’s right-hand man,^[a](A) responded to the man of God,^(B) “Look, even if the Lord were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” ^(C)

Elisha announced, “You will in fact see it with your own eyes, but you won’t eat any of it.”^(D)

³ Now four men with a skin disease^(E) were at the entrance to the city gate. They said to each other, “Why just sit here until we die? ⁴ If we say, ‘Let’s go into the city,’ we will die there because the famine is in the city, but if we sit here, we will also die. So now, come on. Let’s surrender to the Arameans’ camp.^(F) If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
