2 Kings 4:44

So he set it before them
The twenty barley loaves, and the full ears of corn:

and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord;
as the disciples did at the miracle of the loaves and fishes; though that must be allowed to be a greater miracle than this, ( Matthew 14:17-21 ) .

2 Kings 4:44 In-Context

42 One day a man arrived from Baal Shalishah. He brought the man of God twenty loaves of fresh baked bread from the early harvest, along with a few apples from the orchard. Elisha said, "Pass it around to the people to eat."
43 His servant said, "For a hundred men? There's not nearly enough!" Elisha said, "Just go ahead and do it. God says there's plenty."
44 And sure enough, there was. He passed around what he had - they not only ate, but had leftovers.
