OET (OET-RV) Being surrounded like that caused a terrible famine inside the city, until a donkey’s head would be sold for eighty silver coins, and a cup of doves droppings was sold for five silver coins.

(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
The word “behold” here alerts us to pay attention to the surprising information that follows.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
(Occurrence 0) a donkey’s head was sold for
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “a donkey’s head cost”
Note 2 topic: translate-numbers
(Occurrence 0) eighty pieces of silver
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
“80 pieces of silver”
Note 3 topic: translate-bvolume
(Occurrence 0) the fourth part of a kab
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
This can be written in modern measurements. Alternate translation: “a fourth part of a liter” or “a quarter of a liter”
Note 4 topic: translate-fraction
(Occurrence 0) the fourth part
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
This is one part out of four equal parts. Alternate translation: “one fourth” or “a quarter” or “1/4”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
(Occurrence 0) dove’s dung for
(Some words not found in UHB: and=he/it_was famine big/great in/on/at/with,Samaria and=see/lo/see! siege on/upon=it(f) until to_be head donkey's in/on/at/with,eighty silver and,fourth the,kab חרי dove's_dung in/on/at/with,five shekels_of_silver )
The words “was sold for” are understood from the previous phrase. They can be repeated here. Alternate translation: “dove’s dung was sold for” or “dove’s dung cost”
6:24-25 So severe was this famine that normally unclean things were not only eaten but sold for an exorbitant price. Donkey meat, for example, was forbidden by the laws regarding unclean foods (Lev 11:1-7). Dove’s dung may be a variety of wild vegetable, but the consumption of dung is known from other sources describing siege conditions (Isa 36:12). The dove’s dung might also have been used for fuel.

OET (OET-RV) Being surrounded like that caused a terrible famine inside the city, until a donkey’s head would be sold for eighty silver coins, and a cup of doves droppings was sold for five silver coins.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
