2 Kings 4:1-4 ▼

1 Now a wife of one of the prophets appealed to Elisha for help, saying, |Your servant, my husband is dead. You know that your servant was a loyal follower of the LORD. Now the creditor is coming to take away my two boys to be his servants.|

2 Elisha said to her, |What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?| She answered, |Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.|

3 He said, |Go and ask all your neighbors for empty containers. Get as many as you can.

4 Go and close the door behind you and your sons. Pour the olive oil into all the containers; set aside each one when you have filled it.|
