Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And it came to pass after these things, that Benadad king of Syria gathered together all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.

²⁵ And there was a great famine in Samaria: and so long did the siege continue, till the head of an ass was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cabe of pigeon's dung, for five pieces of silver.

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.
