The Deadly Stew

³⁸ When Elisha returned to Gilgal,^(B) there was a famine^(C) in the land. The sons of the prophets^(D) were sitting before him.^(E) He said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and make stew for the sons of the prophets.”

³⁹ One went out to the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment would hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, but they were unaware of what they were.^[a]
