6 And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, 'Bring me another a vessel.' And he responded, 'I have none.' And there was oil remaining.
7 Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: 'Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.'
8 Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
9 And she said to her husband: 'I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
10 Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.'
