One time a widow who had two sons came to Elisha with a very serious problem. She had no money to pay her bills and the man who had loaned her some money wanted to have the debt paid. Since she had no money he told her that she would have to give him her two sons to work for him as slaves. If this happened she would die, for no one could care for her.
When Elisha heard that all she had in the house was one pot of oil, he told her to go to her neighbors and to borrow many vessels (pots and bowls). When she had brought them to her house she began to pour oil from the bowl into them. As long as there were bowls to fill, she filled them with oil. When she had no more bowls the oil stopped.
She sold all the extra oil, paid the man she owed money to, and with the rest she and her sons were able to live. Let’s rest a while so that you can find the following verses:
