- So there was a great famine in Samaria - AT: "Because of the siege or blockage, there was very little food left in Samaria."
- Behold, they besieged it until a donkey's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver - The Aramean army surrounded the city for a long time, to the point where things that were normally not considered good food (such as a donkey's head or dove's dung) were the only food left and worth a high price.
