2 Kings 4:38-41
The Death in the Stew
38Now Elisha returned to aGilgal, and there was ba famine in the land. 1As cthe sons of the prophets dwere sitting before him, he said to his young man, “ePut on the large pot and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 39Then one went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine and gathered from it wild gourds filling his cloak and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, for they did not know what they were. 40So they poured it out for the men to eat. And it happened that as they were eating of the stew, they cried out and said, “O man of God, there is adeath in the pot.” And they were unable to eat. 41But he said, “Now bring flour.” aHe threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people that they may eat.” Then there was no harm in the pot.
