2 Elisha answered, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”The woman said, “I don’t have anything there except a pot of oil.”
3 Then Elisha said, “Go and get empty jars from all your neighbors. Don’t ask for just a few.
4 Then go into your house and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and set the full ones aside.”
5 So she left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. As they brought the jars to her, she poured out the oil.
6 When the jars were all full, she said to her son, “Bring me another jar.”But he said, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 She went and told Elisha. And the prophet said to her, “Go, sell the oil and pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left.”
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where an important woman lived. She begged Elisha to stay and eat. So every time Elisha passed by, he stopped there to eat.
