  • 4:7 She came and told the man of God. He said, "Go and sell the oil, and pay off your debt. You and your sons can live on the rest." 5
  • 4:6 When the containers were all full, she told her son, "Bring me another one." But he told her, "There are no more." Then the oil stopped flowing. 4
  • 4:2 Elisha said to her, "What can I do for you? Tell me, what is there in your house?" She replied, "Your servant has nothing at all in the house, except a small jar of oil." 3
  • 4:35 Elisha got down and walked back and forth in the house, then went up and stretched himself out over him again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. 3
  • 4:1 The wife of a man from the company of prophets cried out to Elisha, "My husband, your servant, has died, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the man he owed money to has come to take my two children as his slaves." 2
  • 4:3 He said, "Go around and borrow containers from all your neighbors, empty ones, and not just a few. 2
  • 4:4 Then go inside with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour oil into all these containers, and as each one is filled, set it aside." 2
  • 4:5 So she left him and shut the door behind her and her sons. They kept bringing the containers to her, and she kept pouring. 2
  • 4:29 Elisha said to Gehazi, "Tuck your robe into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, do not greet them, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy's face." 2
  • 4:30 But the boy's mother said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as surely as you live, I will not leave you." So Elisha got up and followed her. 2
  • 4:31 Gehazi went ahead of them and put the staff on the boy's face. But there was no sound and no response. So he came back to meet Elisha and reported, "The boy has not woken up." 2
  • 4:32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy, dead, lying on his bed. 2
  • 4:33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them, and prayed to the LORD. 2
  • 4:34 Then he got up on the bed and lay on the child, putting his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy's body grew warm. 2
  • 4:36 Elisha called Gehazi and told him, "Call the Shunammite woman." Gehazi called her, and when she came in, Elisha said, "Pick up your son." 2
  • 4:37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed low to the ground. Then she lifted up her son and went out. 2
  • 4:26 Run now to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the child all right?'" She answered, "It is all right." 1
