And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; let it not be few;
4
and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full.
5
And she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons: they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.
6
And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7
And she came and told the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou [and] thy sons on the rest.

And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither 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, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.
11
And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.
13
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.
