BBE summary for : 2 Kings 4
Summary: 2 Kings Chapter 4 recounts several miraculous events performed by the prophet Elisha, demonstrating God's power and provision. The chapter begins with the story of a widow who appeals to Elisha for help, fearing that her creditor will take her sons as slaves. He instructs her to gather empty vessels and fill them with oil from her small supply, resulting in a miraculous multiplication of oil that allows her to pay off her debts and secure her sons' freedom. Next, the chapter describes Elisha's encounter with a wealthy woman from Shunem who provides him with hospitality. In gratitude, he promises her a son, and she miraculously conceives and bears a child. Tragically, the boy later falls ill and dies, prompting the mother to seek Elisha’s help once more. Elisha raises the child back to life, illustrating God's power over death and the importance of faith. The chapter concludes with another miracle involving a poisonous stew that Elisha purifies for the prophets during a famine, and the feeding of a hundred men with twenty loaves of barley, emphasizing God's provision in difficult times. Overall, 2 Kings 4 emphasizes God's compassion, the importance of faith, and His ability to provide abundantly in times of need.
