And Elishasaid unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

And it fell on a day, that Elishapassed to Shunem, where was a greatwoman; and she constrained him to eatbread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eatbread.
