The Siege of Samaria—Cannibalism

24 Now it came about after this, that (A)Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and went up and besieged Samaria. 25 There was a great (B)famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a fourth of a (a)kab of dove’s dung for five shekels of silver.
