2 Kings 2:18-20

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹⁸ When they returned to Elisha, who had waited at Jericho, he said to them, Did I not tell you, Do not go?

¹⁹ And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, inhabiting of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees, but the water is bad and the locality causes miscarriage and barrenness [in all animals].

²⁰ He said, Bring me a new bowl and put salt [the symbol of God’s purifying power] in it. And they brought it to him.
