2 Reyes 4:38 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:38

And Elisha came again to Gilgal
Where he was with Elijah a little before his assumption to heaven, ( 2 Kings 2:1 ) and whither he went, there being a school of the prophets, as he did to all places where there were any, and where he had been before with Elijah; partly to instruct, encourage, and strengthen them, and partly to confirm his office as a prophet by miracles, which he did in several places he came to:

and there was a dearth in the land;
a famine through drought:

and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him:
as disciples before their master, see ( Acts 22:3 )

and he said unto his servant;
very probably Gehazi:

set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets;
who seemed to have lived together in one house or college, and to be to the number of one hundred, see ( 2 Kings 4:43 ) and therefore required to have a large pot set on to boil pottage for them all.

36 Entonces Eliseo le dijo a Guiezi:鈥擫lama a la se帽ora.Guiezi as铆 lo hizo, y cuando la mujer lleg贸, Eliseo le dijo:鈥擯uedes llevarte a tu hijo.
37 Ella entr贸, se arroj贸 a los pies de Eliseo y se postr贸 rostro en tierra. Entonces tom贸 a su hijo y sali贸.
38 Eliseo regres贸 a Guilgal y se encontr贸 con que en esos d铆as hab铆a mucha hambre en el pa铆s. Por tanto, se reuni贸 con la comunidad de profetas y le orden贸 a su criado: 芦Pon esa olla grande en el fog贸n y prepara un guisado para los profetas禄.
39 En eso, uno de ellos sali贸 al campo para recoger hierbas; all铆 encontr贸 una planta silvestre y arranc贸 varias frutas hasta llenar su manto. Al regresar, las cort贸 en pedazos y las ech贸 en el guisado sin saber qu茅 eran.
40 Sirvieron el guisado, pero cuando los hombres empezaron a comerlo, gritaron:鈥斅ombre de Dios, esto es veneno!As铆 que no pudieron comer.
