પછી રાજાએ તેને પૂછ્યું, “તને શું દુઃખ છે?” પેલી સ્ત્રીએ કહ્યું, “આ સ્ત્રીએ મને એમ કહ્યું હતું કે, ‘તારો દીકરો આપ કે, આજે આપણે તેને ખાઈએ અને મારા દીકરાને આવતી કાલે ખાઈશું.’

In context

26As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”

27He said, “If the LORD doesn’t help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”

28Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’

29So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”

30When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
