²⁴ Sometime later, Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, assembled his whole army and he went up and laid siege to Samaria. ²⁵ There was a terrible famine in Samaria, and they continued the siege until a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter of a kab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
