2 Kings 4:38-41

38And ElishaH477 came againH7725 to GilgalH1537: and there was a famineH7458 in the landH776; and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 were sittingH3427 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559 to his servantH5288, SetH8239 on the greatH1419 potH5518, and boilH1310 pottageH5138 for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030. 39And oneH259 went outH3318 into the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbsH219, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612, and gatheredH3950 from it wildH7704 gourdsH6498 his lapH899 fullH4393, and cameH935 and shredH6398 them into the potH5518 of pottageH5138: for they knewH3045 them not. 40So they poured outH3332 for the menH582 to eatH398. And it came to pass, as they were eatingH398 of the pottageH5138, that they cried outH6817, and saidH559, O thou manH376 of GodH430, there is deathH4194 in the potH5518. And they couldH3201 not eatH398 of it . 41But he saidH559, Then bringH3947 mealH7058. And he castH7993 it into the potH5518; and he saidH559, Pour outH3332 for the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. And there was no harmH1697H7451 in the potH5518.1
