BBE Image Bible : Scripture in Images 2 Kings 7:4
4. If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

BBE summary for : 2 Kings 7
Summary: In 2 Kings chapter 7, a dramatic turning point occurs in the narrative of Israel's siege by the Arameans. The chapter opens with a desperate situation in Samaria, where famine has gripped the city, and people are resorting to extreme measures for survival. Elisha, the prophet, prophesies that the Lord will provide an abundance of food within a day, despite the dire circumstances. Four lepers at the city gate, recognizing their own hopelessness, decide to surrender to the Arameans in hopes of receiving mercy. As they approach the enemy camp, they find it deserted; God had caused the Arameans to hear sounds of an approaching army, leading them to flee in panic. The lepers discover the abundance of provisions and return to inform the city, prompting the Israelites to rush to the camp, which fulfills Elisha's prophecy. The chapter concludes with the tragic fate of the royal officer who doubted Elisha's words, as he is trampled to death in the rush for food. Key themes include God's sovereignty and providence in dire situations, the importance of faith in God's promises, and the unexpected ways in which deliverance can come. This chapter illustrates the power of belief and the transformative impact of God's intervention in the lives of His people.
