Contextual Overview
1Now one of the wives of a man of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha [for help], saying "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant [reverently] feared the LORD; but the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his slaves [in payment for a loan]." 2Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have [of value] in the house?" She said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a [small] jar of [olive] oil." 3Then he said, "Go, borrow containers from all your neighbors, empty containers—and not just a few. 4"Then you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out [the oil you have] into all these containers, and you shall set aside each one when it is full."5So she left him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing her the containers as she poured [the oil]. 6When the containers were all full, she said to her son, "Bring me another container." And he said to her, "There is not a one left." Then the oil stopped [multiplying]. 7Then she came and told the man of God. He said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when thou art come in,.... Into her house:
thou shall shut the door upon thee, and upon thy sons; that they might be alone in the house while the miracle was working; that they might not be interrupted in what they were to do, by the creditor coming in upon them, or by neighbours, who would be for getting the oil from them in the vessels they had lent them: and that the miracle might appear the plainer, no oil being brought into the house by any:
and shalt pour out into all these vessels; out of the single pot of oil into all they borrowed:
and thou shalt set aside that which is full; by itself, and fill the rest of the empty ones.
