2 Kings 4:3-7 ▼

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.|

5 So she left him and closed the door behind her and her sons. As they were bringing the containers to her, she was pouring the olive oil.

6 When the containers were full, she said to one of her sons, |Bring me another container.| But he answered her, |There are no more.| Then the olive oil stopped flowing.

7 She went and told the prophet. He said, |Go, sell the olive oil. Repay your creditor, and then you and your sons can live off the rest of the profit.|
