Definitions for 2-kings 4:41
Clarke's 2-kings 4:41 Bible Commentary
Bring meal - Though this might, in some measure, correct the strong acrid and purgative quality; yet it was only a miracle which could make a lapful of this fruit shred into pottage salutary.
Barnes's 2-kings 4:41 Bible Commentary
Then bring meal - The natural properties of meal would but slightly diminish either the bitterness or the unwholesomeness of a drink containing colocynth. It is evident, therefore, that the conversion of the food from a pernicious and unsavory mess into palatable and wholesome nourishment was by miracle.
Wesley's 2-kings 4:41 Bible Commentary
4:41 Into the pot - Together with the pottage which they had taken out of it.
