2 Kings 4
3 - Then he said, "Go, borrow empty containers from of all your neighbors. Don't borrow just a few containers.
4 - Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full."
5 - So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
6 - When the containers were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another container."He said to her, "There isn't another container." Then the oil stopped flowing.
7 - Then she came and told the man of God. He said, "Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest."
9 - She said to her husband, "See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
10 - Please let us make a little room on the roof. Let us set for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. When he comes to us, he can stay there."
