2 Kings 6:24-29

24Some time later, Ben-Hadad king of Aram mobilized his entire army and marched up and laid siege to Samaria.

25There was a great famine in the city; the siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a cab of seed pods for five shekels.

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

27The king replied, “If the Lord does not help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor? From the winepress?”

28Then he asked her, “What’s the matter?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him today, and tomorrow we’ll eat my son.’

29So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we may eat him,’ but she had hidden him.”
