Chapter 4

40So they poured it out for the men to eat. But as they were eating the stew, they cried out and said, 'You man of God, there is death in the pot!' And they were unable to eat. 41Then he said, 'Bring flour.' And he threw it into the pot, and said, 'Pour it out for the people that they may eat.' Then there was nothing harmful in the pot.
42Now a man came from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh grain in his sack. And Elisha said, 'Give them to the people that they may eat.' 43But his attendant said, 'How am I to serve this to a hundred men?' Nevertheless he said, 'Give them to the people that they may eat, for this is what the Lord says: ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’?' 44So he served it to them, and they ate and had some left over, in accordance with the word of the Lord.

And there was no harm in the pot. 42And 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.

He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof. 44So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
