2 Kings

2 Kings 7:19–20

¹⁹And the officer had answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?”

So Elisha had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!”

²⁰And that is just what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
