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 , borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few .

4 And when thou art come in , thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

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 .

6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full , that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed .

7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said , Go , sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest .
