2 Kings 6:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ So we cooked my son and we ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give me your son so that we can eat him,’ but she hid her son.”

³⁰ When the king heard the woman’s words, he tore his clothes. As he walked along on the wall, the people looked up and they saw that he was wearing sackcloth underneath his clothes. ³¹ He said, “May God do this to me and more if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, remains on his body today.”
