And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Elisha returned to Gilgal where there was a food shortage. The sons of the prophets were with him, so he told his servant to cook a big pot of food for them all.
