2 Kings 6:24-28
2 Kings 6:24-28 CSB
Some time later, King Ben-hadad of Aram brought all his military units together and marched up and laid siege to Samaria. So there was a severe famine in Samaria, and they continued the siege against it until a donkey’s head sold for thirty-four ounces of silver, and a cup of dove’s dung sold for two ounces of silver. As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “My lord the king, help! ” He answered, “If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress? ” Then the king asked her, “What’s the matter? ” She said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, and we will eat him today. Then we will eat my son tomorrow.’
