2 Kings 6:23-25
Holman Christian Standard Bible
23 So he prepared a great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The Aramean raiders(A) did not come into Israel’s land again.
24 Some time later, King Ben-hadad(B) of Aram brought all his military units together and marched up to besiege Samaria. 25 So there was a great famine(C) in Samaria, and they continued the siege against it until a donkey’s head sold for 80 silver shekels,[a] and a cup[b] of dove’s dung[c] sold for five silver shekels.[d](D)
