Continuation of the Word of Whenever

This is the Word of Whenever, switched over from my handmadebylauren blog.

Death in the pot. During a dearth in Gigal, there was made for the sons of the prophets a potage of wild herbs, some of which were poisonous. When they tasted the potage, they cried out 'there is death in the pot'. Elisha put some meal into it and the poisonous qualities were counteracted (2 Kings 4:40).
