2 Kings 7:16
"And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the people went out and spoiled the tents of the Syrians,.... Of their riches, and of their provisions; of which there was such a plenty, not only for present

use, but for sale: so that a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, &c. according to the word of the Lord; by Elisha, Kg2 7:1 .
