2 Kings 4:38-41

38When ElishaH477 returnedH7725 to 1GilgalH1537, there was 2a famineH7458 in the landH776. 3As 4the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 5were sittingH3427 beforeH6440 him, he saidH559 to his servantH5288, “6PutH8239 on the largeH1419 potH5518 and boilH1310 stewH5138 for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030.” 39Then oneH259 wentH3318 out into the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbsH219, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612 and gatheredH3950 from it his lapH899 fullH4393 of wildH7704 gourdsH6498, and cameH935 and slicedH6398 them into the potH5518 of stewH5138, for they did not knowH3045 what they were. 40So they pouredH3332 it out for the menH376 to eatH398. And as they were eatingH398 of the stewH5138, they criedH6817 out and saidH559, “O manH376 of GodH430, there is 7deathH4194 in the potH5518.” And they were unableH3808H3201 to eatH398. 41But he saidH559, “Now bringH3947 mealH7058.” 8He threwH7993 it into the potH5518 and saidH559, “PourH3332 it out for the peopleH5971 that they may eatH398.” Then there was noH3808 harmH1697H7451 in the potH5518.
