## 2 Kings 6:28 in Context (Verses 25–31 KJV)
 
 [25 ](/kjv/2-kings/6/25) And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was *sold* for fourscore *pieces* of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five *pieces* of silver.
 
 [26 ](/kjv/2-kings/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.
 
 [27 ](/kjv/2-kings/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?*
 
 [28 ](/kjv/2-kings/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.
 
 [29 ](/kjv/2-kings/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.*
 
 [30 ](/kjv/2-kings/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.
 
 [31 ](/kjv/2-kings/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.
