2 Kings 4:2-7

2“What should I do for you?” Elisha asked her. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She replied, “Your handmaid has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”

3Then he said, “Go borrow for yourself vessels from all your neighbors—empty jars—not just a few.

4Then go inside and shut the door behind you and behind your sons, and pour into all those vessels, setting aside what is full.”

5So she left him and shut the door behind her and behind her sons. They kept bringing the vessels to her and she kept pouring.

6When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.” But he said to her, “There isn’t another vessel.” So the oil stopped.

7Then she came and told the man of God. So he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt, then you and your sons can live on the rest.”
