The people plunder the camp of the Syrians, and the captain in charge of the gate is trampled in the gate and dies
백성이 아람 사람의 진을 노략하고 성문을 지키던 장관이 성문에서 밟혀 죽음
2 Kings 7:16–20: the people go out and plunder the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word. The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the text says, “the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.” It also says, “It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, ‘Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;’ and that captain answered the man of God, and said, ‘Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?’ and he said, ‘Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.’ It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.” Where WEB reads “two measures of barley” (7:16), the Korean Revised Version reads 보리 두 스아, two seahs of barley; at 7:17 it reads 곧 왕이 내려왔을 때에 그의 한 말대로라, that is, according to the word he spoke when the king came down; and at 7:18 it puts the gate of Samaria first (내일 이맘때에 사마리아 성문에서, tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria).
