2 Kings 6:26-30

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, “1If 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, “2WhatH4100 3is the matter with you?” And she 4answeredH559, “ThisH2088 womanH802 saidH559 to me, ‘GiveH5414 your sonH1121 that we may eatH398 him todayH3117, and we will eatH398 my sonH1121 tomorrowH4279.’

295So we boiledH1310 my sonH1121 and ateH398 him; and I saidH559 to her on the nextH312 dayH3117, ‘GiveH5414 your sonH1121, that we may eatH398 him’; but she has hiddenH2244 her sonH1121.”

30When the kingH4428 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of the womanH802, 6he toreH7167 his clothesH899--now he was passingH5674 by on the wallH2346--and the peopleH5971 lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, he had sackclothH8242 7beneathH1004 on his 8bodyH1320.
