It's hard to imagine how awful life in a besieged city was in the ancient Near East.
As the title of this episode suggests, with no food, people resorted to desperate and degrading measures just to stay alive.
It os during such a siege that four men with an incurable skin disease find themselves at the centre of one of the most incredible yirnarounds in the Bible.
I think this little known episode from teh Second Book of Kings is one my favourite Bible stories.
