They returned, entered another tent, took some things from it, and hid them also. 9 Then they said to each other, "What we’re doing is not right. This is a day of good news, and we are keeping it to ourselves. If we wait until daylight, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go and report this at the royal palace." 10 So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, telling them, "We went to the Aramean camp and found no one there—not a single man—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents left just as they were." 11 The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported inside the palace. 12 The king got up in the night and said to his servants, "I will tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are hungry, so they have gone out of the camp to hide in the countryside, thinking, 'When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and take the city.'" 13 One of his servants replied, "Let some men take five of the remaining horses that are left here. Their fate will be like that of all the Israelites who are left—yes, they will be like all the Israelites who have perished. Let us send them out to find out what has happened." 14 So they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean camp, saying, "Go and see." 15 They followed them as far as the Jordan, and they found the whole way littered with clothes and equipment the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. So the messengers returned and reported to the king. 16 Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley were sold for a shekel, as the Lord had said. 17 Now the king had put the officer on whose arm he leaned in charge of the gate, but the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to his house. 18 It happened just as the man of God had said to the king: "About this time tomorrow, two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel and a seah of fine flour for a shekel at the gate of Samaria." 19 The officer had answered the man of God, "Look, even if the Lord were to open the floodgates of the heavens, could this happen?" The man of God had replied, "You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!" 20 And that is exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
