25 So there was a severe famine(A) in Samaria, and they continued the siege against it until a donkey’s head sold for thirty-four ounces[a] of silver, and a cup[b] of dove’s dung[c] sold for two ounces[d] of silver.(B)
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “My lord the king, help!”
27 He answered, “If the Lord doesn’t help you, where can I get help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?” (C) 28 Then the king asked her, “What’s the matter?” (D)
She said, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, and we will eat him today. Then we will eat my son tomorrow.’ 29 So we boiled my son and ate him, and I said to her the next day, ‘Give up your son, and we will eat him,’(E) but she has hidden her son.”
