Context — The Widow’s Oil

4Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.” 5So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.

6When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.” 8One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.

2 Kings 4:6 Summary

[This verse shows us that God's power and provision are available to us, but we need to have willing hearts and available vessels for Him to work through. As seen in 2 Kings 4:6, the oil stopped flowing when there were no more jars, illustrating that God's miracle was dependent on the available vessels to fill. We can trust in God's power and provision, just like the widow in this story, and know that He will provide for us, as stated in Matthew 6:33. By trusting in God and making ourselves available to Him, we can experience His blessing and provision in our lives, just as the widow did.]

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the oil stop flowing when there were no more jars?

The oil stopped flowing because God's miracle was dependent on the available vessels to fill, as seen in 2 Kings 4:6, and once all the jars were full, the purpose of the miracle was fulfilled, similar to how God works in our lives according to His plan and purpose, as stated in Jeremiah 29:11.

What is the significance of the jars in this miracle?

The jars represent the available vessels for God to work through, and as long as there were jars to fill, the oil kept flowing, illustrating God's power and provision, as seen in 2 Kings 4:6, and reminding us that God can use any willing vessel to accomplish His work, as stated in 2 Corinthians 4:7.

Is this miracle only about physical provision or is there a spiritual application?

While the miracle in 2 Kings 4:6 is about physical provision, it also has spiritual implications, reminding us that God is our provider and sustainer, as seen in Psalm 23:1, and that we should trust in His power and provision in all aspects of our lives.

How does this miracle relate to our everyday lives?

This miracle teaches us to trust in God's power and provision, even in difficult circumstances, and to be faithful stewards of the resources He provides, as seen in Matthew 25:14-30, and to always look to Him as our source of supply, as stated in Philippians 4:19.

Reflection Questions

What are the 'jars' in my life that God wants to fill with His provision and blessing?
How can I trust in God's power and provision, even when I don't see a way out of my current circumstances?
What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's provision and supply, rather than relying on my own strength and resources?
How can I be a willing vessel for God to work through, and what are some ways I can make myself available to Him?
What are some ways I can apply the lesson of this miracle to my everyday life, and how can I share this truth with others?

Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 4:6

And it came to pass when the vessels were full,.... For the oil being miraculously increased as it was poured forth, there was enough to fill all the vessels; Ben Gersom and Abarbinel say, that when

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 4:6

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:6

Unto her son; to one of them, for she had two, . The oil stayed, to teach us, that we should not waste any of God’ s good creatures, and that God would not work miracles unnecessarily.

Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:6

2 Kings 4:6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, [There is] not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.Ver. 6. There is not a vessel more.] The cruse never ceased running, till there was no room; so elsewhere God never ceased abating, till Abraham stopped begging.

Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:6

(6) Her son.—Probably the eldest. The LXX. has plural here and in the verb that follows. Stayed.—Heb., stood—i.e., halted, stopped. (Comp. Luke 8:44, ἡῥύσιςἔστη.) Bδhr makes the word mean continued—i.e., to flow (!).

Adam Clarke's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:6

Verse 6. And the oil stayed.] While there was a vessel to fill, there was oil sufficient; and it only ceased to flow when there was no vessel to receive it. This is a good emblem of the grace of God. While there is an empty, longing heart, there is a continual overflowing fountain of salvation. If we find in any place or at any time that the oil ceases to flow, it is because there are no empty vessels there, no souls hungering and thirsting for righteousness. We find fault with the dispensations of God's mercy, and ask, Why were the former days better than these? Were we as much in earnest for our salvation as our forefathers were for theirs, we should have equal supplies, and as much reason to sing aloud of Divine mercy.

Cambridge Bible on 2 Kings 4:6

6. she said unto her son] Here the LXX., apparently only because ‘sons’ had been mentioned before, has here also ‘sons’ and later on in the verse ‘and they said’. The Hebrew is far more natural. Both sons had helped, but it would be to one that her request ‘Bring me another’ would be addressed. And the oil stayed] i.e. ceased to flow any longer. The English verb is a little antiquated in this sense, being now more commonly used for ‘to cause to stand’. But cf. Joshua 10:13 ‘The sun stood still and the moon stayed’, i.e. ceased to move.

Whedon's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:6

6. The oil stayed — “It only ceased to flow when there was no vessel to receive it. This is a good emblem of the grace of God. While there is an empty, longing heart, there is a continual overflowing fountain of salvation.
