2 Kings 2:19-21
Living Bible
19 Now a delegation of the city officials of Jericho visited Elisha. “We have a problem,” they told him. “This city is located in beautiful natural surroundings, as you can see; but the water is bad and causes our women to have miscarriages.”[a]
20 “Well,” he said, “bring me a new bowl filled with salt.” So they brought it to him.
21 Then he went out to the city well and threw the salt in and declared, “The Lord has healed these waters. They shall no longer cause death or miscarriage.”
