12:004:038 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the
land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him:
and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe
pottage for the sons of the prophets.
12:004:039 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a
wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and
came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew
them not.
12:004:040 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as
they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and
said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they
could not eat thereof.
12:004:041 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
12:004:042 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of
God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and
full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto
the people, that they may eat.
12:004:043 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an
hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may
eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave
thereof.
12:004:044 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
12:005:001 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper.
12:005:002 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought
away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she
waited on Naaman's wife.
12:005:003 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with
the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of
his leprosy.
