Second Kings 7:1

And Elisha said, "Hear the word of the Lord (Yahweh): Thus says the Lord (Yahweh): Tomorrow at this time, a seah [7-12 liters] of fine wheat [an adult's weekly bread requirement] will be sold for a shekel [a month's wages], and two seahs [a total of 15-20 liters] of barley for a shekel [a month's wages] in the streets of Samaria."
[Elisha prophesies that in a day the situation will be reversed, from a severe famine when there is no food and people are eating their children, to a situation where food will be available, even if it is somewhat more expensive than in a normal year. Based on information from Babylonian literature about what the standard prices for food were at this time, food prices will be 600-700% above the normal price in peacetime, but compared to the exorbitant prices during a siege, this was still unthinkable, see 2 Kings 6:25.]
