2 Kings 4:1-4 ▼

1 Now a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.”

2 So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”

3 Then he said, “Go, borrow containers elsewhere for yourself, empty containers from all your neighbors—do not get too few.

4 Then you shall come in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour into all these containers; and you shall set aside what is full.”
