2 Kings 4:39-41
Christian Standard Bible
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.[a]
40 They served some for the men to eat, but when they ate the stew they cried out, “There’s death in the pot,(A) man of God!” And they were unable to eat it.
41 Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Serve it for the people to eat.” And there was nothing bad in the pot.(B)
