"A man came from Baal-shalishah bringing bread and wheat to the man of GOD. These were from the first part of the harvest, twenty loaves of barley and wheat. Elisha told him, 'Give the loaves to these men that they may eat.'
His servant said to him, 'How am I to divide these loaves among one hundred men?' Elisha insisted, 'Give them to the men that they may eat, for YAHWEH says: 'They shall eat and have some left over.' So the man set it before them; and they ate and had some left, as YAHWEH had said." - 2 Kings 4:42-44
(We should compare this multiplication of loaves with the two multiplications at the hand of JEUS; they are related in very similar ways and, yet, each has a different meaning [see especially John 6].)
