2 KINGS 7:17 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spake when the king came down to him.”
The people tread upon him at the gate, and he dies — the captain's death occurs through the crowds' trampling in their rush to reach the abundant provisions. His fate is precisely what Elisha prophesied: he sees the salvation but does not eat of it.
