2 Kings 4:38-44 - Elisha Secures The Food

³⁸ When Elisha was come to Gilgal again, there was a dearth in the land, and the children of the prophets dwelt with him. Then he said to his servant, "Put on a great pot, and make pottage for the children of the prophets."

³⁹ And one went out into the field, to gather herbs, and found as it were a wild vine, and gathered thereof coloquintidaes, his lapful, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage - they unwitting.

⁴⁰ And they poured out for the men to eat. And when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out and said, "There is death in the pot, thou man of God!" And could not eat thereof.

⁴¹ Then he said, "Bring meal." And he cast it into the pot and said, "Fill for the people that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.

⁴² There came a man from Baalshalishah and brought the man of God bread of first fruits, even twenty loaves of barley, and new corn in a cloth he had. And Elisha bade put it before the people that they might eat. Then his minister said,

⁴³ "What should I set this before a hundred men?" And he said, "Set it before the people and let them eat. For thus sayeth the LORD, 'They shall eat and leave.'" ⁴⁴ And he set it before them, and they ate and left, according to the word of the LORD.
