Old Testament Survey: 2 Kings 7

God’s Miraculous Provision for Samaria

A. God’s promise and what the lepers discovered.

1. (2 Kings 7:1-2) God’s promise and the doubt of the king’s officer.

Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the LORD: ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.’” So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, “Look, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, could this thing be?” And he said, “In fact, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.”
