2 Kings 6:26-30

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, “1If 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, “2What 3is the matter with you?” And she 4answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

295So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him’; but she has hidden her son.”

30When the king heard the words of the woman, 6he tore his clothes--now he was passing by on the wall--and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth 7beneath on his 8body.
