23. So he made a great feast for them, and they ate and drank; then he sent them, and they went to their master. And the bands of the Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.
24. It happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Aram assembled all of his army and marched up and laid siege against Samaria.
25. There was a great famine in Samaria, and behold, a siege was against it, until the head of a donkey went for eighty shekels of silver, and one fourth of the measure of the dung of doves went for five shekels of silver.
26. It happened that the king of Israel was crossing over on the wall, and a woman called out to him, saying, “Help, my lord the king!”
27. He said, “No, let Yahweh help you. How can I save you? From the threshing floor or from the wine press?”
