2 Kings 7:1 a seah of fine flour . . . two seahs of barley. A seah is about 7 quarts (7.7 liters). Rescue is coming, and normal business at the gate of Samaria will be resumed on the following day (the prices are much lower here than in 6:25).

2 Kings 7:2 windows in heaven. This officer cannot imagine how such an economic recovery could happen overnight. Will God hand out material blessings (see Mal. 3:10)? To mock the prophetic word is to mock the Lord himself, however, so he shall see it . . . but . . . not eat.

2 Kings 7:3–4 four men who were lepers. Faced with certain death if they enter the city or sit where they are, they instead choose possible death in the camp of the Syrians.

2 Kings 7:20 the people trampled him. The skeptical officer of v. 2 is trampled in the scramble to take the Syrians’ supplies, fulfilling Elisha’s prophecy.
