2 Kings 6:25-29

25And there wasH1961 a greatH1419 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s headH7218 wasH1961 sold for fourscore pieces of silverH3701, and the fourthH7255 part of a kab of dove’s dung for fiveH2568 pieces of silverH3701. 26And as the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wasH1961 passingH5674 by upon the wallH2346, there criedH6817 a womanH802 unto him, sayingH559, Help, my lordH113, O kingH4428. 27And he saidH559, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepressH3342? 28And the kingH4428 saidH559 unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This womanH802 saidH559 unto me, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him to-day, and we will eatH398 my sonH1121 to-morrow. 29So we boiledH1310 my sonH1121, and did eatH398 him: and I saidH559 unto her on the next dayH3117, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him; and she hath hidH2244 her sonH1121.
