The Widow’s Olive Oil

4 The wife of a man from the company^(A) of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that he revered the Lord. But now his creditor^(B) is coming to take my two boys as his slaves.”

⁷ She went and told the man of God,^(A) and he said, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debts. You and your sons can live on what is left.”

¹² “None of us, my lord the king^(A),” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
