Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

2 Kings 3
²⁷ Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land.
2 Kings 4
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."
⁵ So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing the vessels to her and she poured.
⁶ When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not one vessel more." And the oil stopped.
⁷ Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
⁸ Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.
⁹ She said to her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually.
¹⁰ Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there."
