2 Kings 6:25-27
Wycliffe Bible

25 And great hunger was made in Samaria; and so long it was besieged (and it was besieged for so long), till [that] the head of an ass were sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a measure called [a] cab, (out) of the craw of culvers[a], was sold for five pieces of silver.

26 And when the king of Israel passed by the wall of the city, a woman cried to him, and said, My lord the king, save thou me.

27 Which said (Who said), Nay, the Lord save thee; whereof may I save thee? (out) of [the] cornfloor, either (out) of [the] presser?

  1. 2 Kings 6:25 In Latin it is said, ‘of the drit of culvers’; but ‘drit’ is not taken here properly, but unproperly, for ‘the throat’, where corns, eaten of culvers, be gathered, and cooks of rich men sold these corns to the people, for (the) hunger (because of the famine).
