2 Reyes 4:40 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:40

So they poured out for the men to eat
When the pottage was boiled, they poured it out into dishes or basins, for the sons of the prophets to eat:

and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they
cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot;
poison, the cause of death; the pottage was so exceeding bitter, that they concluded there must be some poisonous herb in it; and coloquintida is so bitter, that it is called "the gall of the earth":

and they could not eat thereof:
they stopped eating, it being so very disagreeable, and, as they supposed, dangerous.

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.
41 El entonces dijo: Traed harina. Y esparci贸la en la olla, y dijo: Echa de comer 谩 la gente. Y no hubo m谩s mal en la olla.
42 Vino entonces un hombre de Baal-salisa, el cual trajo al var贸n de Dios panes de primicias, veinte panes de cebada, y trigo nuevo en su espiga. Y 茅l dijo: Da 谩 la gente para que coman.
