Starting at the 24th verse of chapter 6, in the book of 2 Kings, there was a great famine in Samaria. The king of Israel heard a woman cry out to him, asking for help. She told him that a woman came to her, asking to eat her son. In exchange, they would eat the woman's son the next day. But when that day came, the woman had hid her son.
The king was devastated by this. He then sent a messenger to behead Elisha.
But Elisha knew what was coming, thanks to the Lord, and told the elders to not open the door to the messenger. Unfortunately they were too late. The messenger confronted Elisha, asking why he should wait on the Lord.
Elisha told him that the Lord will provide food for them the next day. And it was done. Food arrived at the gates of Samaria.
