2 KINGS 6:28 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.”
The king asks the woman: "What is the matter with you?" She responds: "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'" — the horror of cannibalism enters Israel's siege experience. The prohibition against such defilement (Leviticus) is broken by starvation.
