2 Kings 2:20 Context
18And when they came againe to him (for he taried at Iericho) hee said vnto them, Did I not say vnto you, Goe not? 19¶ And the men of the city said vnto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is nought, and the ground barren. 20And hee said, Bring mee a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 21And he went forth vnto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I haue healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death, or barren land. 22So the waters were healed vnto this day, according to the saying of Elisha, which he spake.

Wesley's Notes for 2 Kings 2:20
2:20 A new cruse - That there might be no legal pollution in it which might offend God, and hinder his miraculous operation. Put salt - A most improper remedy; for salt naturally makes waters brackish, and lands barren. Hereby therefore he would shew, that this was effected solely by the Divine power, which could work either without means, or against them.
