36 And he called Gehazi, and said to him, 'Call this Shunammite woman.' And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, 'Take up your son.'
37 She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.
38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, 'Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.'
39 And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.
40 Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, 'Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!' And they were unable to eat.
