2 Kings 6:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ So we boiled my son and ate him. The next day, I told her, ‘Give me your son so we can eat him!’ But she has hidden her son!”

³⁰ When the king heard what the woman said, he ripped his garments as he continued walking along the city^[a] wall. As the people watched, all of a sudden they noticed he was wearing sackcloth underneath his clothes, inside next to his flesh! ³¹ He said, “May God do to me—and more also!—if the head of Shaphat’s son Elisha remains on his shoulders^[b] today!”
