2 Kings 2:19
King James Version
“And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water naught, and the ground barren.”
Context
16And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
19And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water naught, and the ground barren.
20And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they bring to him.
21And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the LORD, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren
22So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
