2 Kings 4:1-7 NIV
"The wife of a man from the company
of the prophets cried out to Elisha,
Your servant my husband is dead, and
you know that he revered the Lord. But
now his creditor is coming to take my
two boys as his slaves.
Elisha replied to her, How can I help you?
Tell me, what do you have in your house?
Your servant has nothing there at all,
she said, except a small jar of olive oil.
Elisha said, Go around and ask all your
neighbors for empty jars. Don't ask for
just a few.
THEN GO INSIDE AND SHUT THE DOOR
BEHIND YOU AND YOUR SONS.
Pour oil into all the jars, and as each is
filled, put it to one inside.
She left him and shut the door behind her
and her sons. They brought the jars to her
and she kept pouring.
When all the jars were full, she said to her son,
Bring me another one. But he replied, There
is not a jar left.
THEN THE OIL STOPPED FLOWING.
She went and told the man of God, and he
said, GO, SELL THE OIL and pay
your debts. You and your sons can live on
what is left."
