2 Kings 7:14 meaning

In a desperate situation, the city of Samaria faced a dire famine due to a prolonged siege. The King of Israel, overwhelmed with despair, questioned the possibility of rapid deliverance. Elisha, a prophet of God, assured that relief was imminent, delivering an astounding promise that within twenty-four hours, food prices would drastically plummet in Samaria. This incredible forecast did not sit well with everyone, particularly a royal official who scoffed, doubting the feasibility of such a sudden turnaround from their circumstances.
