Aram’s Siege of Samaria
24 Now it happened afterwards, that (A)Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his military camp and went up and besieged Samaria. 25 Now there was a great (B)famine in Samaria. And behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for [a]eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a [b]kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, “Save, my lord, O king!”
