2 Kings 7:3
| ← 2 Kings 7:2 | 2 Kings 7:3 (KJV) | 2 Kings 7:4 → |
|---|---|---|
Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.
|
And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
|
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
