And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [sold] for fourscore [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five [pieces] of silver.	And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.	And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
