2
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me what thou hast in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has nothing in the house except a flask of oil.
3
And he said, Go, borrow vessels from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4
Then enter in and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons and pour out into all those vessels, and as each one is full, set it aside.
5
So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought
the vessels to her, and she poured out
the oil.
6
And when the vessels were full, she said unto her son, Bring me yet
another vessel. And he said unto her,
There are no more vessels. Then the oil stopped
flowing.
7
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell this oil and pay thy debtors and live thou and thy sons of the rest.
8
And it also happened that one day Elisha passed through Shunem, where
there was an important woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And
so it was,
that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
9
And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this
is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.
10
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a lampstand so that when he comes to us, he shall turn in there.
11
And it came to pass one day that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and slept there.
12
Then he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
