24Now it came about after this, that Ben-hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. 25So there was a severe famine in Samaria; and behold, they kept besieging it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver. 26And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, 'Help, my lord the king!' 27But he said, 'If the Lord does not help you, from where am I to help you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?'King James Version
