Some men from Jericho went to Elisha and said, “As you know, sir, this is a fine city, but the water is bad and causes miscarriages. “
“Put some salt in a new bowl and bring it to me, “ he ordered. Then brought it to him and he went to the spring, threw the slat in the water, and said, “This is what the LORD says, ‘ I make this water pure, and it will not cause any more deaths or miscarriages. ‘”
And that water has been pure ever since, just as Elisha said it would be.
