Cross-reference
2 Kings 6:25 sets the scene: extreme famine with donkey heads sold for high prices — the context making the cannibalism believable.
In Leviticus 26:29, this curse of eating children is prophesied — here it becomes reality.
In Deuteronomy 28:53-57, the same curse of eating children is warned — now fulfilled in this siege.
In Isaiah 9:20, devouring one's own flesh describes similar judgment — a parallel horror of cannibalism.
In Isaiah 49:15, a mother cannot forget her nursing child — a stark contrast to this mother agreeing to eat her son.
In Lamentations 4:10, this same horror recurs: compassionate women boil their own children for food during siege. Direct thematic echo of cannibalism in famine.
Lamentations 2:20 directly asks if women should eat their offspring — a rhetorical echo of the same atrocity described in the siege.
Ezekiel 5:10 prophesies fathers eating sons and sons eating fathers as judgment — an intensified version of the cannibalism in Samaria's siege.
