2 Kings 4:38-44

[38] And Elisha  came again  to Gilgal:  and there was a dearth  in the land;  and the sons  of the prophets  were sitting  before  him: and he said  unto his servant,  Set  on the great  pot,  and seethe  pottage  for the sons  of the prophets.  [39] And one  went out  into the field  to gather  herbs,  and found  a wild  vine,  and gathered  thereof wild  gourds  his lap  full,  and came  and shred  them into the pot  of pottage:  for they knew  [40] So they poured out  to eat.  of the pottage,  that they cried out,  and said,  O thou man  of God,  there is death  in the pot.  And they could  not eat  [41] But he said,  Then bring  meal.  And he cast  it into the pot;  and he said,  Pour out  for the people,  that they may eat.  And there was no harm  in the pot.  [42] And there came  a man  from Baalshalisha,  and brought  the man  of God  bread  of the firstfruits,  twenty  loaves  of barley,  and full ears of corn  in the husk  thereof. And he said,  Give  unto the people,  that they may eat.  [43] And his servitor  said,  What, should I set  this before  an hundred  men?  He said again,  Give  the people,  that they may eat:  for thus saith  the LORD,  They shall eat,  and shall leave  [44] So he set  it before  them, and they did eat,  and left  thereof, according to the word  of the LORD.
