2 Kings 4:1-4 ▼

1 A certain woman, the widow of one of the guild prophets, cried out to Elisha: “My husband, your servant, is dead. You know that he revered the LORD, yet now his creditor has come to take my two children into servitude.”

2 Elisha answered her, “What am I to do for you? Tell me what you have in the house.” She replied, “This servant of yours has nothing in the house but a jug of oil.”

3 He said, “Go out, borrow vessels from all your neighbors—as many empty vessels as you can.

4 Then come back and close the door on yourself and your children; pour the oil into all the vessels, and as each is filled, set it aside.”
