2 Kings 6:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying: Save me, my lord O king.

²⁷ And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:

²⁸ This woman said to me: Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
