    1 A certain woman, the wife of one of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. Now the creditor has come to take my two sons as slaves."

    2 Elisha said to her, "What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?" She replied, "Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of oil."

    3 Then he said, "Go, borrow empty vessels from all your neighbors. Get as many as you can. Do not gather too few."

    4 Then go inside and shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all these vessels, and as each one is filled, set it aside."

    5 So she left him, shut the door behind her and her sons, and they kept bringing vessels to her while she poured the oil.

    6 When all the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." But he replied, "There are no more vessels." Then the oil stopped flowing.

    1 Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise, take your household, and go live in whatever place you can, for the LORD has called for a famine, and it will come upon the land for seven years."

    2 So the woman arose and acted according to the word of the man of God. She departed with her household and lived as a foreigner in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

    3 At the end of the seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, and she went to appeal to the king for her house and her land.

    4 Meanwhile, the king was speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me about all the great deeds Elisha has done."

    5 As Gehazi was recounting how Elisha had restored the dead to life, the woman whose son Elisha had restored came to cry out to the king about her house and her land. Gehazi said, "My lord the king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life!"

    6 The king questioned the woman, and she told him her story. Then the king assigned an official to her and said, "Restore everything that belongs to her, as well as all the produce of the field from the day she left the land until now."

    8 Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

    9 "Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and stay there. Look, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you."

    10 So he arose and went to Zarephath. When he reached the city gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and said, "Please bring me a little water in a vessel so I may drink."

    11 As she was going to fetch it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand as well."

    12 But she replied, "As the LORD your God lives, I have nothing baked. I only have a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a couple of sticks to go and prepare it for myself and my son so we may eat it and then die."

    13 Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid. Go and do as you have said, but first make a small cake for me from what you have and bring it to me. Then make some for yourself and your son."

    14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not run out, and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD sends rain upon the earth.'

    15 She went and did according to what Elijah said, and she, Elijah, and her household ate for many days.

    16 The jar of flour was not used up, and the jug of oil did not run dry, as the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah had declared.

    17 After this, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick. His illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

    18 She said to Elijah, "What have I to do with you, man of God? Have you come to bring my sin to remembrance and to kill my son?"

    19 Elijah said to her, "Give me your son." He took the boy from her arms, brought him up to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his bed.
