2 Kings 4:37-39

New Catholic Bible

³⁷ She came in and bowed down, falling to the ground at Elisha’s feet. She then took her son and left.

³⁸ Poisoned Stew. Elisha returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. The sons of the prophets were sitting in front of him, and he said to his servant, “Set up the large pot and cook some soup for the sons of the prophets.”

³⁹ One of them went out into the field to gather some herbs and he found a wild vine. He picked the wild gourds, filling his cloak. He cut them up into the pot of soup, although no one knew what they were.
