24And it came to pass after thisH310, that BenhadadH1130 kingH4428 of SyriaH758 gatheredH6908 all his armyH4264, and went upH5927, and besiegedH6696 SamariaH8111. 25And there was a greatH1419 famineH7458 in SamariaH8111: and, behold, they besiegedH6696 it, until a donkey’sH2543 headH7218 was sold for eightyH8084 pieces of silverH3701, and the fourth partH7255 of a cabH6894 of dove’s dungH1686H3123H2755 for fiveH2568 pieces of silverH3701. 26And as the kingH4428 of IsraelH3478 was passing byH5674 upon the wallH2346, there criedH6817 a womanH802 to him, sayingH559, HelpH3467, my lordH113, O kingH4428. 27And he saidH559, If the LORDH3068 doth not helpH3467 thee, howH370 shall I helpH3467 thee? out of the barnfloorH1637, or out of the winepressH3342?1 28And the kingH4428 saidH559 to her, What aileth thee?
