²⁵ So there was a severe famine^(A) in Samaria, and they continued the siege against it until a donkey’s head sold for thirty-four ounces^[a] of silver, and a cup^[b] of dove’s dung^[c] sold for two ounces^[d] of silver.^(B)

7 Elisha replied, “Hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord says: ‘About this time tomorrow at Samaria’s gate, six quarts^[a] of fine flour will sell for a half ounce of silver^[b] and twelve quarts^[c] of barley will sell for a half ounce of silver.’”^(A)
