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;

2 Kings 4:44 In-Context

42 One day a man from Baal-shalishah brought the man of God a sack of fresh grain and twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first grain of his harvest. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.”

43 “What?” his servant exclaimed. “Feed a hundred people with only this?” But Elisha repeated, “Give it to the people so they can eat, for this is what the LORD says: Everyone will eat, and there will even be some left over!”

44 And when they gave it to the people, there was plenty for all and some left over, just as the LORD had promised.
