2 Kings 6:28-30

International Standard Version

²⁸ Then the king asked her, “What’s bothering^[a] you?”

She said, “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son, and we’ll eat him today, and we’ll eat my son tomorrow.’” ²⁹ So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day, I told her, ‘Give me your son so we can eat him!’ But she has hidden her son!”

³⁰ When the king heard what the woman said, he ripped his garments as he continued walking along the city^[b] wall. As the people watched, all of a sudden they noticed he was wearing sackcloth underneath his clothes, inside next to his flesh!
