Elisha visited a city named Gilgal. While he was visiting, there was a very bad famine in the land. Since nothing was growing, it was very hard to find food. But Elisha was concerned for the welfare of the sons of the prophets and in spite of the famine he commanded the great pot to be set on the fire and pottage (food which is similar to vegetable soup) to be cooked in it.
While this was being done one of the young men went out to gather some extra food to add to the pottage. What he gathered looked like good vegetables, but they were really poisonous gourds (similar to a cucumber). After the poisonous gourds were cut up and put in the pot, those who tried to eat it realized that it would cause them to die.
They cried to Elisha for help and he put meal (flour) into the pot and the poison was destroyed so that the sons of the prophets could eat it.
