26. While the king of Israel was passing by on the city wall, a woman shouted to him, “Help us, my master, O king!”
27. He replied, “No, let the Lord help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.”
28. Then the king asked her, “What’s your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Hand over your son; we’ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.’
29. So we boiled my son and ate him. Then I said to her the next day, ‘Hand over your son and we’ll eat him.’ But she hid her son!”
