Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

Un día que el rey de Israel caminaba sobre el muro de la ciudad, una mujer lo llamó: ―¡Auxilio, señor mío, mi rey! ―Si el Señor no te ayuda, ¿qué puedo hacer yo? —le contestó—. No tengo comida ni vino para darte. Pero, ¿de qué se trata? Ella respondió: ―Esta mujer me propuso que nos comiéramos a mi hijo un día y el suyo al día siguiente. Cocinamos a mi hijo y nos lo comimos, pero al día siguiente, cuando yo le dije: “Ahora nos corresponde comernos a tu hijo” ella lo escondió. Cuando el rey oyó esto, rasgó su ropa. (El pueblo que observaba se dio cuenta, al rasgarse él la ropa, que estaba vestido de ropas ásperas).
