'Dearth' in the Bible

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 boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

Some also there were that said, We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses: let us get grain, because of the dearth.

At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
