2 Kings 6:25-29

25The shortages caused by the blockade of Samaria became so severe that a donkey’s head sold for two pounds of silver and a half-pint of dove  manure for two ounces of silver.

26As the king of Israel was walking on the city wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, Your Majesty!”

27He answered, “If the Lord doesn’t help you, how can I help you? I can’t give you something from the threshing floor  or the winepress.”

28Then the king asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son. Let’s eat him today. We’ll eat my son tomorrow.’

29So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day I told her, ‘Give up your son. We’ll eat him,’ but she hid her son.”
