2 Elisha asked her, “What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? ”She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go and borrow empty containers from everyone — from all your neighbors. Do not get just a few.
4 Then go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these containers. Set the full ones to one side.”
5 So she left.After she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
6 When they were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.”But he replied, “There aren’t any more.” Then the oil stopped.
7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt; you and your sons can live on the rest.”
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem. A prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to eat some food. So whenever he passed by, he stopped there to eat.
