* Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha , saying , Thy servant my husband is dead ; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD : and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen . * And Elisha said 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 . * Then he said , Go , borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours , even empty vessels ; borrow not a few . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 . * 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 .
