43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?”

44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to Yahweh’s word.

Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat! This is what the Lord says: ‘Eat and there will be leftovers.’” 44 So the servant gave the food to them. They ate and had leftovers, in agreement with the Lord’s word.
