2 Kings 4:38-40

International Standard Version

Poisoned Stew is Purified

³⁸ Elisha returned to Gilgal during a time of famine in the land. While the Guild of Prophets were having a meal^[a] with him, he instructed his attendant, “Put a large pot on the fire and boil some stew for the Guild of Prophets.” ³⁹ Somebody went out into the fields to grab some herbs, found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds, which he came and sliced up into the stew pot, but nobody else knew.

⁴⁰ When they served the men, they began to eat the stew. But they cried out, “That pot of stew is deadly, you man of God!” So they couldn’t eat the stew.
