Gill's Notes on the Bible
So they poured out for the men to eat,.... When the pottage was boiled, they poured it out into dishes or basins, for the sons of the prophets to eat:
and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot; poison, the cause of death; the pottage was so exceeding bitter, that they concluded there must be some poisonous herb in it; and coloquintida is so bitter, that it is called "the gall of the earth":
and they could not eat thereof: they stopped eating, it being so very disagreeable, and, as they supposed, dangerous.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 40. There is death in the pot. — As if they had said, "We have here a deadly mixture; if we eat of it, we shall all die."
