Tell me, what do you have in the house?” And she said, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.” “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”Īnd Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house?

In Him we can see that God’s purpose is that we (Jews and Gentiles) "might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory" (Romans 9:23).Elisha replied to her, “How can I help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “Your servant has nothing there at all,” she said, “except a small jar of olive oil.” We see the promise of a future king to come, a hope for "David", someone whom God describes as “a man after mine own heart” (Acts 13:22).
