2 Kings 4 is a chapter in the Bible that features several miracles performed by the prophet Elisha. It's a part of the narrative that highlights God's power and provision through His prophets during difficult times in Israel's history.
Here's a brief overview of the main events in this chapter:The Widow's Oil: The chapter opens with a widow of a man from the company of the prophets pleading with Elisha because her deceased husband left her in debt, and the creditor is coming to take her two sons as slaves. Elisha asks what she has in her house, and she mentions only a small jar of olive oil.
Elisha instructs her to borrow as many empty jars as she can, go home, shut the door, and pour oil into all the jars. Miraculously, the oil does not run out until every jar is filled. She sells the oil to pay off her debts, saving her sons from slavery.The Shunammite’s Son: This section introduces a well-to-do woman from Shunem who regularly hosts Elisha. To honor him, she and her husband build a small room on their roof for him. Elisha, wanting to repay her kindness, foretells the birth of a son even though her husband is old. The child is born but dies suddenly years later. The Shunammite woman seeks Elisha, who comes, prays to God, and miraculously brings the boy back to life.
The Poisoned Stew: Elisha returns to Gilgal during a famine. When his servant prepares a stew for the company of prophets, he accidentally uses poisonous gourds. Upon realizing the mistake, Elisha throws flour into the pot, rendering the stew harmless and edible.Feeding of a Hundred: The chapter concludes with a man bringing Elisha twenty loaves of barley bread made from the first ripe grain. Elisha orders it to be given to the people to eat, stating that God says they will eat and have some left over.
Despite the servant's doubt due to the small amount for a hundred men, the prophecy is fulfilled, echoing the miraculous provision and abundance from God.Each of these stories demonstrates God's miraculous provision and care through the actions of Elisha. They also underscore themes of faith, obedience, and the power of God to work through seemingly impossible situations. The narratives serve as encouragement and teaching, showing that God is attentive to the needs of His people and able to provide for them in extraordinary ways.
