A Time of Hunger

²⁴ Later, Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathered all his army. He went to surround and attack Samaria. ²⁵ There was a time of terrible hunger in Samaria. It was so bad that a donkey’s head was sold for about two pounds of silver. Half of a pint of dove’s dung sold for about two ounces of silver.
