II Kings 4:1-7
[1] Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons
of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou
knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take
unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
[2] And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou
in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house,
save a pot of oil.
[3] Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even
empty vessels; borrow not a few.
[4] And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy
sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that
which is full.
[5] So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who
brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
[6] And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her
son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more.
And the oil stayed.
[7] Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and
pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
