 II Kings 04

Death is Taken Out of the Pot

38 Now Elisha returned to Gilgal; and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, "Set on the great pot and boil some stew of herbs for the sons of the prophets." 

39 Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his coat full of gourds. And he came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for they knew not what they were.

 40 So they took some to eat for the men. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot!" And they could not eat. 

41 But he said, "Bring some flour, then." And he poured it into the pot and said, "Take some to eat for the people." Then there was no harm in the pot.
