Ben-hadad Attacks Samaria
24 Some time later, King Ben-hadad from Aram mustered his army, invaded the land,[a] and attacked Samaria 25 until there was a great famine throughout Samaria. The siege lasted until a donkey’s head cost[b] 80 silver coins[c] and one quarter of a unit[d] of dove’s dung cost[e] five silver coins.[f]
26 While the king of Israel was walking along the city[g] wall, a woman cried out to him. “Help me, your majesty!”[h] she said.
