2 Kings 4:38-44
38And ElishaH477 cameH7725 againH7725 to GilgalH1537: and there was a dearth in the landH776; and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 were sittingH3427 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, SetH3427 on the greatH1419 potH5518, and seetheH1310 pottage for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030. 39And one wentH3318 outH3318 intoH413 the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbs, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612, and gatheredH3950 thereof wildH7704 gourdsH6498 his lap fullH4393, and cameH935 and shred them intoH413 the potH5518 of pottage: for they knewH3045 them notH3808. 40SoH1961 they pouredH3332 outH3332 for the menH376 to eatH398. And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as they were eatingH398 of the pottage, that they criedH6817 outH3332, and saidH559, O manH376 of GodH430, there is deathH4194 in the potH5518. And they couldH3201 notH3808 eatH398 thereof. 41But he saidH559, Then bringH3947 mealH7058. And he castH7993 it intoH413 the potH5518; and he saidH559, PourH3332 outH3332 for the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. And there was noH3808 harmH7451 in the potH5518. 42And there cameH935 a manH376 from Baal-shalishahH1190, and broughtH935 the manH376 of GodH430 breadH3899 of the firstfruits, twentyH6242 loavesH3899 of barleyH8184, and freshH3759 earsH3759 of corn in his sackH6861. And he saidH559, GiveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. 43And his servantH8334 saidH559, WhatH4100, should I setH5414 this beforeH6440 an hundredH3967 menH376? But he saidH559, GiveH5414 the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398; for thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, They shall eatH398, and shall leaveH3498 thereof. 44SoH5414 he setH5414 it beforeH6440 them, and they did eatH398, and leftH3498 thereof, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
