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.

38 Y Eliseo se volvi贸 谩 Gilgal. Hab铆a entonces grande hambre en la tierra. Y los hijos de los profetas estaban con 茅l, por lo que dijo 谩 su criado: Pon una grande olla, y haz potaje para los hijos de los profetas.
39 Y sali贸 uno al campo 谩 coger hierbas, y hall贸 una como parra mont茅s, y cogi贸 de ella una faldada de calabazas silvestres: y volvi贸, y cort贸las en la olla del potaje: porque no sab铆a lo que era.
40 Ech贸se despu茅s para que comieran los hombres; pero sucedi贸 que comiendo ellos de aquel guisado, dieron voces, diciendo: 隆Var贸n de Dios, la muerte en la olla! Y no lo pudieron comer.
