2 Kings 4:38 in Context — 2 Kings 4
36 Élisée appela Guéhazi, et dit: Appelle cette Sunamite. Guéhazi l’appela, et elle vint vers Élisée, qui dit: Prends ton fils!
37 Elle alla se jeter à ses pieds, et se prosterna contre terre. Et elle prit son fils, et sortit.
38 Élisée revint à Guilgal, et il y avait une famine dans le pays. Comme les fils des prophètes étaient assis devant lui, il dit à son serviteur: Mets le grand pot, et fais cuire un potage pour les fils des prophètes.
39 L’un d’eux sortit dans les champs pour cueillir des herbes; il trouva de la vigne sauvage et il y cueillit des coloquintes sauvages, plein son vêtement. Quand il rentra, il les coupa en morceaux dans le pot où était le potage, car on ne les connaissait pas.
40 On servit à manger à ces hommes; mais dès qu’ils eurent mangé du potage, ils s’écrièrent: La mort est dans le pot, homme de Dieu! Et ils ne purent manger.
