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 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.
