2 Kings 6:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ As the king of Israel was walking on the city wall, a woman cried to him, “Help me, Your Majesty!”

²⁷ He answered, “If the Lord doesn’t help you, how can I help you? I can’t give you something from the threshing floor ^[a] or the winepress.” ²⁸ Then the king asked her, “What’s the matter?”

She answered, “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son. Let’s eat him today. We’ll eat my son tomorrow.’
