2 “What should I do for you?” Elisha asked her. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She replied, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
3 Then he said, “Go borrow for yourself vessels from all your neighbors—empty jars—not just a few.
4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and behind your sons, and pour into all those vessels, setting aside what is full.”
5 So she left him and shut the door behind her and behind her sons. They kept bringing the vessels to her and she kept pouring.
6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” But he said to her, “There isn’t another vessel.” So the oil stopped.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. So he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt, then you and your sons can live on the rest.”
8 One day when Elisha passed through Shunem, where there was a prominent woman who persuaded him to eat some food. And so it was, whenever he passed through, he would stop for a meal.
