2 Kin 4:1 Now a certain woman of the wives 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 the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."
2 Kin 4:2 Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."
2 Kin 4:3 Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few.
2 Kin 4:4 "And you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all these vessels, and you shall set aside what is full."
2 Kin 4:5 So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing the vessels to her and she poured.
2 Kin 4:6 When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not one vessel more." And the oil stopped.
2 Kin 4:7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
2 Kin 4:8 ¶ Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.
2 Kin 4:9 She said to her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually.
2 Kin 4:10 "Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there."
2 Kin 4:11 ¶ One day he came there and turned in to the upper chamber and rested.
2 Kin 4:12 Then he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." And when he had called her, she stood before him.
2 Kin 4:13 He said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the army?'" And she answered, "I live among my own people."
2 Kin 4:14 So he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "Truly she has no son and her husband is old."
2 Kin 4:16 Then he said, "At this season next year you will embrace a son." And she said, "No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant."
2 Kin 4:17 ¶ The woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had said to her.
2 Kin 4:18 ¶ When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father to the reapers.
2 Kin 4:20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then died.
2 Kin 4:21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door behind him and went out.
2 Kin 4:22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and return."
