(Occurrence 0) the sons of the prophets
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Elisha returned the,Gilgal,to and,the,famine on_the=earth and=the_sons the,prophets sitting before,face/front,him and=he/it_said to,servant_of,his put_on the,pot the,large and,make stew for,sons_of the,prophets )
This is an idiom. It does not mean that they were actually the sons of prophets, but rather, that they were a group of prophets. See how you translated this phrase in [2 Kings 2:3](../02/03.md). Alternate translation: “the group of men who were prophets”
(Occurrence 0) stew
(Some words not found in UHB: and,Elisha returned the,Gilgal,to and,the,famine on_the=earth and=the_sons the,prophets sitting before,face/front,him and=he/it_said to,servant_of,his put_on the,pot the,large and,make stew for,sons_of the,prophets )
