2 Kings 4:39 in Context — 2 Kings 4
37 Y así que ella entró, echóse á sus pies, é inclinóse á tierra: después tomó su hijo, y salióse.
38 Y Eliseo se volvió á Gilgal. Había entonces grande hambre en la tierra. Y los hijos de los profetas estaban con él, por lo que dijo á su criado: Pon una grande olla, y haz potaje para los hijos de los profetas.
39 Y salió uno al campo á coger hierbas, y halló una [como] parra montés, y cogió de ella una faldada de calabazas silvestres: y volvió, y cortólas en la olla del potaje: porque no sabía [lo que era].
40 Echóse después para que comieran los hombres; pero sucedió que comiendo ellos de aquel guisado, dieron voces, diciendo: ¡Varón de Dios, la muerte en la olla! Y no lo pudieron comer.
41 El entonces dijo: Traed harina. Y esparcióla en la olla, y dijo: Echa de comer á la gente. Y no hubo más mal en la olla.
