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

Melachim Bais 4:44 In-Context

42 And there came an ish from Ba’al Shalishah, and brought the Ish HaElohim lechem bikkurim, twenty loaves of se’orim (barley), and [roasted] ears of corn in his sack. And he [Elishah] said, Give unto HaAm, that they may eat.
43 And the one serving him said, What, should I set this before a hundred ish? He said again, Give HaAm, that they may eat; for thus saith Hashem, They shall eat, and there shall be shirayim.
44 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and there was shirayim thereof, according to the Devar Hashem.
