@ And it came to pass after
this
, that
Benhadad
Ben-
king
of
Syria
gathered
all his
host
, and went
up
, and
besieged
Samaria
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:25
@ And there was a
great
famine
in
Samaria
: and, behold, they
besieged
it, until an
asss
head
was sold for
fourscore
pieces of
silver
, and the fourth
part
of a
cab
of doves
dung
charey- for
five
pieces of
silver
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:26
@ And as the
king
of
Israel
was passing
by
upon the
wall
, there
cried
a
woman
unto him,
saying
,
Help
, my
lord
, O
king
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:27
@ And he
said
, If the
LORD
do not
help
thee,
whence
shall I
help
thee? out of the
barnfloor
, or out of the
winepress
?
strkjv@2Kings:6:28
@ And the
king
said
unto her, What aileth thee? And she
answered
, This
woman
said
unto me,
Give
thy
son
, that we may
eat
him to
day
, and we will
eat
my
son
to
morrow
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:29
@ So we
boiled
my
son
, and did
eat
him: and I
said
unto her on the
next
day
,
Give
thy
son
, that we may
eat
him: and she hath
hid
her
son
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:30
@ And it came to pass, when the
king
heard
the
words
of the
woman
, that he
rent
his
clothes
; and he passed
by
upon the
wall
, and the
people
looked
, and, behold, he had
sackcloth
within
upon his
flesh
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:31
@ Then he
said
,
God
do
so and
more
also to me, if the
head
of
Elisha
the
son
of
Shaphat
shall
stand
on him this
day
.
strkjv@2Kings:6:32
@ But
Elisha
sat
in his
house
, and the
elders
sat
with him; and the king
sent
a
man
from
before
him: but ere the
messenger
came
to him, he
said
to the
elders
,
See
ye how this
son
of a
murderer
hath
sent
to take
away
mine
head
?
look
, when the
messenger
cometh
,
shut
the
door
, and hold him
fast
at the
door
: is not the
sound
of his
masters
feet
behind
him?
strkjv@2Kings:6:33
@ And while he yet
talked
with them, behold, the
messenger
came
down
unto him: and he
said
, Behold, this
evil
is of the
LORD
; what should I
wait
for the
LORD
any longer?
