2 Kings 4:1-7

1Now a woman of the wives of 1the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and 2the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves.” 2So Elisha said to her, “What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your servant has nothing in the house except 3a jar of oil.” 3Then he said, “Go, 4borrow containers 5elsewhere for yourself, empty containers from all your neighbors--do not get too few. 4Then you shall come in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour into all these containers; and you shall set aside what is full.” 5So she left him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they began bringing the containers to her, and she poured the oil. 6When 6the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” But he said to her, “There 7are no more containers.” Then the oil stopped. 7So she came and told 8the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest.”
