36 And he called Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, “Pick up your son.”

Elisha Purifies the Pot of Stew

38 And Elisha returned to ^aGilgal, and there was a ^bfamine in the land. Now the sons of the prophets were ^csitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”

39 So one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, though they did not know what they were.

40 Then they served it to the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is ^adeath in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
