Verse 39
2Ki 4:39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred [them] into the pot of pottage: for they knew [them] not.
Ver. 39. Of wild gourds his lapful ] This is taken to be coloquintida, which is very bitter, saith Valesius, a so that physicians call it Fel terrae, the gall of the earth.
