2 Kings 4:38-40

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁸ Afterward, Elisha returned to Gilgal. And a famine was in the land. And the children of the Prophets dwelt with him. And he said to his servant, “Set on the great pot and boil stew 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 wild gourds from it. His garment full, he came and shredded them into the pot of stew, for they did not know them.

⁴⁰ So, they poured it out for the men to eat. And when they ate the stew, they cried out, and said, “O you man of God! Death is in the pot!” And they could not eat.
