2 Kings 4:38-40

38When ElishaH477 returnedH7725 to 1GilgalH1537, there was 2a famineH7458 in the landH776. 3As 4the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 5were sittingH3427 in frontH6440 of him, he saidH559 to his servantH5288, “6PutH8239 on the largeH1419 potH5518 and boilH1310 stewH5138 for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030.”

39Then oneH259 wentH3318 outH3318 into the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 mallowH219, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612 and gatheredH3950 from it his lapH899 fullH4393 of wildH7704 gourdsH6498; and he cameH935 and slicedH6398 them into the potH5518 of stewH5138, becauseH3588 they did not knowH3045 what they were.

40So they pouredH3332 it outH3332 for the menH376 to eatH398. But as they were eatingH398 the stewH5138, they criedH6817 outH6817 and saidH559, “You manH376 of GodH430, there is 7deathH4194 in the potH5518!” And they wereH3201 unableH3808H3201 to eatH398.
