1. Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."
2. Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."
3. Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few.
4. And you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all these vessels, and you shall set aside what is full."
