2 Kings 6:28-30

Tree of Life Version

²⁸ Then the king asked her, “What’s the matter with you?”

She answered, “This woman said to me: ‘Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’ ²⁹ So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her: ‘Give your son that we may eat him’—but she hid her son.”

³⁰ Now it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes—as he was passing by on the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath upon his flesh.
