2 Kings 4:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:5

So she went from him
And did as he advised her, borrowed many empty vessels of her neighbours, having faith in what the prophet had said to her:

and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons;
and then went to work as she was directed, with her sons:

who brought the vessels to her;
the empty ones she had borrowed: and she poured out; the oil out of her pot into them.

2 Kings 4:5 In-Context

3 Then he said, "Go and borrow empty containers from everyone-from all your neighbors. Do not get just a few.

4 Then go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these containers. Set the full ones to one side."

5 So she left. After she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing her [containers], and she kept pouring.

6 When they were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he replied, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped.

7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go sell the oil and pay your debt; you and your sons can live on the rest."
