2 Kings 4:6-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. When they were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.”But he replied, “There aren’t any more.” Then the oil stopped.

7. She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt; you and your sons can live on the rest.”

8. One day Elisha went to Shunem. A prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to eat some food. So whenever he passed by, he stopped there to eat.

9. Then she said to her husband, “I know that the one who often passes by here is a holy man of God,

10. so let’s make a small room upstairs and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp there for him. Whenever he comes, he can stay there.”

11. One day he came there and stopped and went to the room upstairs to lie down.

12. He ordered his attendant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she stood before him.
