2 Kings 4:38

2Ki 4:38 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.

Ver. 38. See the pottage. ] The propbets were poor, and glad of pottage. Nescio quomodo bonae mentis sorer est paupertas. a The saints are kept at hard commons, but have their keeping of free cost. The wicked have larger provisions, but pay sweetly.
