2 Kings 7:20

← 2 Kings 7:19	2 Kings 7:20 (KJV)	2 Kings 8:1 →
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, [if] the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.	And so it fell out unto him: for the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died.	Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
