The Deadly Stew
38 When Elisha returned to Gilgal,(A) there was a famine(B) in the land. The sons of the prophets(C) were sitting at his feet.[a](D) He said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and make stew for the sons of the prophets.”
39 One went out to the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment would hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, but they were unaware of what they were.
40 They served some for the men to eat, but when they ate the stew they cried out, “There’s death in the pot,(E) man of God!” And they were unable to eat it.
