2 Kings 6:25-33

And there was a great
<01419>
famine
<07458>
in Samaria
<08111>_:
and, behold, they besieged
<06696> (8802)
it, until an ass's
<02543>
head
<07218>
was [sold] for fourscore
<08084>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_,
and the fourth part
<07255>
of a cab
<06894>
of dove's dung
<01686> (8675) <03123> <02755>
for five
<02568>
[pieces] of silver
<03701>_.
And as the king
<04428>
of Israel
<03478>
was passing by
<05674> (8802)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
there cried
<06817> (8804)
a woman
<0802>
unto him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
Help
<03467> (8685)_,
my lord
<0113>_,
O king
<04428>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
If the LORD
<03068>
do not help
<03467> (8686)
thee, whence
<0370>
shall I help
<03467> (8686)
thee? out of the barnfloor
<01637>_,
or out of the winepress
<03342>_?
{If...: or, Let not the LORD save thee}
And the king
<04428>
said
<0559> (8799)
unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
This woman
<0802>
said
<0559> (8804)
unto me, Give
<05414> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8799)
him to day
<03117>_,
and we will eat
<0398> (8799)
my son
<01121>
to morrow
<04279>_.
So we boiled
<01310> (8762)
my son
<01121>_,
and did eat
<0398> (8799)
him: and I said
<0559> (8799)
unto her on the next
<0312>
day
<03117>_,
Give
<05414> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_,
that we may eat
<0398> (8799)
him: and she hath hid
<02244> (8686)
her son
<01121>_.
{next: Heb. other}
And it came to pass, when the king
<04428>
heard
<08085> (8800)
the words
<01697>
of the woman
<0802>_,
that he rent
<07167> (8799)
his clothes
<0899>_;
and he passed by
<05674> (8802)
upon the wall
<02346>_,
and the people
<05971>
looked
<07200> (8799)_,
and, behold, [he had] sackcloth
<08242>
within
<01004>
upon his flesh
<01320>_.
Then he said
<0559> (8799)_,
God
<0430>
do
<06213> (8799)
so and more
<03254> (8686)
also to me, if the head
<07218>
of Elisha
<0477>
the son
<01121>
of Shaphat
<08202>
shall stand
<05975> (8799)
on him this day
<03117>_.
But Elisha
<0477>
sat
<03427> (8802)
in his house
<01004>_,
and the elders
<02205>
sat
<03427> (8802)
with him; and [the king] sent
<07971> (8799)
a man
<0376>
from before
<06440>
him: but ere the messenger
<04397>
came
<0935> (8799)
to him, he said
<0559> (8804)
to the elders
<02205>_,
See
<07200> (8804)
ye how this son
<01121>
of a murderer
<07523> (8764)
hath sent
<07971> (8804)
to take away
<05493> (8687)
mine head
<07218>_?
look
<07200> (8798)_,
when the messenger
<04397>
cometh
<0935> (8800)_,
shut
<05462> (8798)
the door
<01817>_,
and hold him fast
<03905> (8804)
at the door
<01817>_:
[is] not the sound
<06963>
of his master's
<0113>
feet
<07272>
behind
<0310>
him?
And while he yet talked
<01696> (8764)
with them, behold, the messenger
<04397>
came down
<03381> (8802)
unto him: and he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, this evil
<07451>
[is] of the LORD
<03068>_;
what should I wait
<03176> (8686)
for the LORD
<03068>
any longer?
