2 Kings 6:25Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingAnd great hunger was made in Samaria; and so long it was besieged, till [that] the head of an ass were sold for fourscore plates of silver, and the fourth part of a measure called [a] cab, out of the craw of culvers, was sold for five plates of silver. See the chapter |
And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I say to you, what the men of Syria have done to us; they know, that we travail with hunger, therefore they have gone out of the castles [or tents], and be hid in the fields, and say, When they shall go out of the city, we shall take them quick, and then we shall be able to enter into the city.
Lo! strongholds be builded against the city, that it be taken, and the city is given into the hands of Chaldees, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, that fight against it, of the face of [the] sword, and of hunger, and of pestilence; and whatever things thou spakest, befell, as thou thyself seest.
