2 Kings 2:19-21

Living Bible

¹⁹ Now a delegation of the city officials of Jericho visited Elisha. “We have a problem,” they told him. “This city is located in beautiful natural surroundings, as you can see; but the water is bad and causes our women to have miscarriages.”^[a]

²⁰ “Well,” he said, “bring me a new bowl filled with salt.” So they brought it to him.

²¹ Then he went out to the city well and threw the salt in and declared, “The Lord has healed these waters. They shall no longer cause death or miscarriage.”
