3. He said, "Go out and borrow containers from all your neighbors. Get as many empty containers as possible.
4. Then go in and close the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all those containers. Set each one aside when it’s full."
5. She left Elisha and closed the door behind her and her sons. They brought her containers as she kept on pouring.
6. When she had filled the containers, she said to her son, "Bring me another container."He said to her, "There aren’t any more." Then the oil stopped flowing,
7. and she reported this to the man of God.He said, "Go! Sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what remains."
8. One day Elisha went to Shunem. A rich woman lived there. She urged him to eat something, so whenever he passed by, he would stop in to eat some food.
9. She said to her husband, "Look, I know that he is a holy man of God and he passes by regularly.
10. Let’s make a small room on the roof. We’ll set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there."
11. So one day Elisha came there, headed to the room on the roof, and lay down.
12. He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite woman." Gehazi called her, and she stood before him.
13. Elisha then said to Gehazi, "Say to her, ‘Look, you’ve gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can say on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’"She said, "I’m content to live at home with my own people."
14. Elisha asked, "So what can be done for her?"Gehazi said, "Well, she doesn’t have a son, and her husband is old."
15. Elisha said, "Call her." So Gehazi called her, and she stood at the door.
