2 Kings 6:24-27

24Some time later, however, King Ben-hadad of Aram mustered his entire army and besieged Samaria.

25As a result, there was a great famine in the city. The siege lasted so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty pieces of silver, and a cup of dove’s dung sold for five pieces of silver.

26One day as the king of Israel was walking along the wall of the city, a woman called to him, “Please help me, my lord the king!”
