2Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.
3Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.
4Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.
5So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.
6And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.
7So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.
8Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.
