2 Kings 6:24-29
24And it came to pass after this that Ben-HadadH1130 kingH4428 of Syria gatheredH6908 all his armyH4264, and wentH5927 up and besieged SamariaH8111.
25And there wasH1961 a greatH1419 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's headH7218 wasH1961 worth eightyH8084 silver-pieces, and the fourthH7255 part of a cab of dove's dung fiveH2568 silver-pieces.
26And it came to passH5674 as the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 wasH1961 passingH5674 by upon the wallH2346, there criedH6817 a womanH802 to him sayingH559, Help, my lordH113 O kingH4428!
27And he saidH559, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepressH3342?
28And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, What aileth thee? And she saidH559, This womanH802 saidH559 to me, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him to-day, and we will eatH398 my sonH1121 to-morrow.
29And we boiledH1310 my sonH1121, and ateH398 him: and I saidH559 to her on the next dayH3117, GiveH5414 thy sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him; and she has hiddenH2244 her sonH1121.
