2 Kings 4:6-8
International Standard Version
6 When the last of[a] the vessels had been filled, she told her son, “Bring me another pot!”
But he replied, “There isn’t even one pot left.” Then the oil stopped flowing. 7 After this, she went and told the man of God what had happened.[b] So he said, “Go sell the oil, pay your debt, and you and your children will be able to live on the proceeds.”
