“And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress? ”
“He said, "If Yahweh doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"”
“And he said: If the Lord doth not save thee, how can I save thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress? And the king said to her: What aileth thee? And she answered:”
“And he said, If the Lord does not give you help, where am I to get help for you? from the grain-floor or the grape-crusher?”

The Lord Saves Samaria Later King Ben Hadad of Syria assembled his entire army and attacked and besieged Samaria.
Samaria’s food supply ran out. They laid siege to it so long that a donkey’s head was selling for eighty shekels of silver and a quarter of a kab of dove’s droppings for five shekels of silver.
While the king of Israel was passing by on the city wall, a woman shouted to him,“Help us, my master, O king!”
He replied,“No, let the LORD help you. How can I help you? The threshing floor and winepress are empty.”
Then the king asked her,“What’s your problem?” She answered,“This woman said to me,‘Hand over your son; we’ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.’
So we boiled my son and ate him. Then I said to her the next day,‘Hand over your son and we’ll eat him.’ But she hid her son!”
When the king heard what the woman said, he tore his clothes. As he was passing by on the wall, the people could see he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes.
