"Then, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, 'Help, my lord, O king!' And he said, 'If the Lord does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or from the winepress?' Then the king said to her, 'What is troubling you?' And she answered, 'This woman said to me, "Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow." So we boiled my son, and ate him. And I said to her on the next day, "Give your son, that we may eat him"; but she has hidden her son,'" 2 Kings 6:26-29, NKJV. #KillingOffspring
People killing their very own offspring, or having the intent to carry out such a deed, is a common theme in the scriptures; even Jesus Christ, in a sense, suffered death by the hands of His Father in heaven.
