2 Kings 6:25-28

25There was a great 1famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a 2kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver.

26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall a woman cried out to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

27He said, “3If the Lord does not help you, from where shall I help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

28And the king said to her, “4What 5is the matter with you?” And she 6answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
