25There was a greatH1419 1famineH7458 in SamariaH8111; and beholdH2009, they besiegedH6696H5921 it, untilH5704 a donkey’sH2543 headH7218 was soldH1961 for eightyH8084 shekels of silverH3701, and a fourthH7255 of a 2kabH6894 of dove’sH3123 dungH1686 for fiveH2568 shekels of silverH3701.
26As the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 was passingH5674 by on the wallH2346 a womanH802 criedH6817 out to him, sayingH559, “HelpH3467, my lordH113, O kingH4428!”
27He saidH559, “3If the LordH3068 does not helpH3467 you, from whereH370 shall I helpH3467 you? From the threshingH1637 floorH1637, orH176 from the wineH3342 pressH3342?”
28And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, “4WhatH4100 5is the matter with you?” And she 6answeredH559, “ThisH2088 womanH802 saidH559 to me, ‘GiveH5414 your sonH1121 that we may eatH398 him todayH3117, and we will eatH398 my sonH1121 tomorrowH4279.’
