Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:003:026 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for
him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to
break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
12:003:027 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his
stead, and offered him for a burnt offering upon the wall. And
there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed
from him, and returned to their own land.
12:004:001 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of
the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is
dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and
the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be
bondmen.
12:004:002 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me,
what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath
not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
12:004:003 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy
neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
12:004:004 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee
and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
12:004:005 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her
sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
12:004:006 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said
unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her,
There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
12:004:007 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell
the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of
the rest.
12:004:008 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was
a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it
was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat
bread.
12:004:009 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that
this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
12:004:010 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and
let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and
a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he
shall turn in thither.
12:004:011 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into
the chamber, and lay there.
12:004:012 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And
when he had called her, she stood before him.
