38 Afterward Elisha returned to Gilgal, and a famine was in the [a]land, and the children of the Prophets dwelt with him. And he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the children of the Prophets.
39 And one went out into the field, to gather herbs, and found as it were a wild vine, and gathered thereof [b]wild gourds his garment full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew it not.
