Bible. Kings, 2nd
003:022 They rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water,
and the Moabites saw the water over against them as red as blood:
003:023 and they said, This is blood; the kings are surely destroyed,
and they have struck each man his fellow: now therefore,
Moab, to the spoil.
003:024 When they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose
up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them;
and they went forward into the land smiting the Moabites.
003:025 They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they
cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped
all the springs of water, and felled all the good trees,
until in Kir Hareseth [only] they left the stones of it;
however the men armed with slings went about it, and struck it.
003:026 When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too severe
for him, he took with him seven hundred men who drew sword,
to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.
003:027 Then he took his eldest son who would have reigned in his place,
and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall.
There was great wrath against Israel: and they departed from him,
and returned to their own land.
004:001 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons
of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband
is dead; and you know that your servant did fear Yahweh:
and the creditor is come to take to him my two children
to be bondservants.
004:002 Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me;
what have you in the house? She said, Your handmaid has
nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.
004:003 Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors,
even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
004:004 You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons,
and pour out into all those vessels; and you shall set aside
that which is full.
004:005 So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons;
they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.
004:006 It happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son,
Bring me yet a vessel. He said to her, There isn't another vessel.
The oil stayed.
004:007 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, Go, sell the oil,
and pay your debt, and live you and your sons of the rest.
004:008 It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was
a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread.
So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there
to eat bread.
004:009 She said to her husband, See now, I perceive that this is a holy
man of God, that passes by us continually.
004:010 Let us make, Please, a little chamber on the wall;
and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat,
