THE UNBELIEVING LORD TRODDEN TO DEATH. (Kg2 7:17-20) the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned,--&c. The news spread like lightning through the city, and was followed, as was natural, by a popular rush to the Syrian camp. To keep order at the gate, the king ordered his minister to keep guard; but the impetuosity of the famishing people could not be resisted. The lord was trodden to death, and Elisha's prophecy in all respects accomplished. Next: 2 Kings Chapter 8
