1. The wife of a man from the groups of prophets said to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead. You know he honored the Lord. But now the man he owes money to is coming to take my two boys as his slaves!”
2. Elisha answered, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?”The woman said, “I don’t have anything there except a pot of oil.”
3. Then Elisha said, “Go and get empty jars from all your neighbors. Don’t ask for just a few.
4. Then go into your house and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all the jars, and set the full ones aside.”
5. So she left Elisha and shut the door behind her and her sons. As they brought the jars to her, she poured out the oil.
