Purifying the stew

Still in the 4th chapter of 2 Kings, starting with verse 38, Elisha came to a land where there was a great famine.  He advised them to set out a large pot and boil stew.

The servants didn't know what they were gathering out in the wild, and soon discovered that they had inadvertently put in a poisonous herb.  They cried out to the Lord and Elisha told them to bring flour, as the Lord had told him.  He poured flour in and the stew was good to eat.

Afterward, a man brought him twenty loaves of barley and fresh grain.  Elisha ordered them to give what they brought to the men, but the man was puzzled, for there was not enough.  Elisha said that the Lord told him to feed the men and there will be plenty left.

It was done.

And there was plenty.  All done as the Lord told him.
