2 Kings 6:25-29
6:25 Samaria’s food supply ran out.
They laid siege to it so long that
a donkey’s head was selling for eighty shekels of silver
and a quarter of a kab
of dove’s droppings
for five shekels of silver.
6:26 While the king of Israel was passing by on the city wall, a woman shouted to him, “Help us, my master, O king!”
6:27 He replied, “No, let the Lord help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.”
6:28 Then the king asked her, “What’s your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Hand over your son; we’ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.’
6:29 So we boiled my son and ate him. Then I said to her the next day, ‘Hand over your son and we’ll eat him.’ But she hid her son!”
