2 Kings 6:24-29

24Some time later, King Ben-hadad of Aram brought all his military units together and marched up and laid siege to Samaria.

25So 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.

26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “My lord the king, help!”

27He answered, “If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”

28Then 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.’

29So we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her the next day, ‘Give up your son, and we will eat him,’ but she has hidden her son.”
