2 Kings 4

¹ Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!”

² “How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”

³ “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow empty jars from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.

⁴ Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”
