'Food' in the Bible

Now the king had appointed the royal officer on whose arm he leaned to be in charge of the [city] gate; and the [starving] people trampled him at the gate [as they struggled to get through for food], and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king came down to him.

On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine [caused by the siege] was severe in the city; there was no food for the people of the land.
