4. Then go inside your house. Shut the door behind you and your sons. Pour oil into all of the jars. As each jar is filled, put it over to one side."
5. The woman left him. After that, she shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her. And she kept pouring.
6. When all of the jars were full, she spoke to one of her sons. She said, "Bring me another jar." But he replied, "There aren't any more left." Then the oil stopped flowing.
7. She went and told the man of God about it. He said, "Go and sell the oil. Pay what you owe. You and your sons can live on what is left."
8. One day Elisha went to the town of Shunem. A rich woman lived there. She begged him to stay and have a meal. So every time he came by, he stopped there to eat.
9. The woman said to her husband, "That man often comes by here. I know that he is a holy man of God.
10. Let's make a small room for him on the roof. We'll put a bed and a table in it. We'll also put a chair and a lamp in it. Then he can stay there when he comes to visit us."
11. One day Elisha came. He went up to his room. He lay down there.
12. He said to his servant Gehazi, "Go and get the Shunammite woman." So he did. She stood in front of Elisha.
13. He said to Gehazi, "Tell her, 'You have gone to a lot of trouble for us. Now what can we do for you? Can we speak to the king for you? Or can we speak to the commander of the army for you?' " She replied, "I live among my own people. I have everything I need here."
14. After she left, Elisha asked Gehazi, "What can we do for her?" Gehazi said, "Well, she doesn't have a son. And her husband is old."
