TSNTyndale Study Notes:

4:38 Like Bethel (2:3) and Jericho (2:5, 15), Gilgal was the center for a group of prophets (2:1). Elisha was the leader of these groups, and thus sat at the head of the table for meals.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

(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 )

This is a dish that is usually made of meat and vegetables cooked in a pot with liquid.
