My husband has died. He was one of Elisha’s prophets, and Elisha knows he honoured the LORD. Now the man he owed money to is coming to take my two boys as slaves. Elisha asked what I’ve got in the house. Nothing. One jar of oil.

Replying to @prophets.widow

My boys kept bringing jars and I kept pouring. I asked for another one and my son said: that’s the last one. And the oil stopped. Sold it, paid off the debt, and we’re living on what’s left.
