Now the king appointed ^(C1)the royal officer on whose hand he leaned ^(F1)to be in charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died, just as the man of God had said, ^(C2)who spoke when the king came down to him.

So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "^(C1)Two ^(F1)measures of barley for a shekel and a ^(F1)measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold about this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria."

At that time the royal officer had responded to the man of God and said, "Now even if ^(C1)the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could such a thing as this happen?" And he had said, "Behold, you are going to see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat ^(F1)any of it."

And this is what happened to him, for the people trampled on him at the gate and he died.
