25 And there was a great famine in Samaria, as they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver. 26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him, saying, Help me, my lord, O king. 27 And he said to her, Let the LORD help you; whence shall I help you? Out of the threshing floor or out of the wine press? 28 And the king said to her, What troubles you? And she said to him, This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow. 29 So we cooked my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, Give your son, that we may eat him; but she had hidden her son. 2 Kings 6:25-29, Lamsa Bible.
