2 Raja-raja 7:1

7:1 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says, ‘About this time tomorrow a seah ¹  of finely milled flour will sell for a shekel and two seahs of barley for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.’”

2 Raja-raja 7:10

7:10 So they went and called out to the gatekeepers ²  of the city. They told them, “We entered the Syrian camp and there was no one there. We didn’t even hear a man’s voice. ³  But the horses and donkeys are still tied up, and the tents remain up.” ⁴ 

[7:1]  ¹ sn A seah was a dry measure equivalent to about 7 quarts.

[7:10]  ² tn The MT has a singular form (“gatekeeper”), but the context suggests a plural. The pronoun that follows (“them”) is plural and a plural noun appears in v. 11. The Syriac Peshitta and the Targum have the plural here.

[7:10]  ³ tn Heb “and, look, there was no man or voice of a man there.”

[7:10]  ⁴ tn Heb “but the horses are tied up and the donkeys are tied up and the tents are as they were.”
