2 Kings 7:17

Easy To Read Version

The king chose his officer that was close to him to guard the gate. {But the people ran to get food from the enemy camp.} The people knocked the officer down and walked on him, and he died. So all those things happened just like the man of God [88] (Elisha) said when the king came to Elisha’s house.
