*
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 yownah #
charey-yowniym #
for five pieces of silver .
*
And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall ,
there cried a woman unto him ,
saying ,
Help ,
my lord ,
O king .
*
And he said ,
If the LORD do not help thee ,
whence shall I help thee ?
out of the barnfloor ,
or out of the winepress ?
*
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 .
*
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 .
