Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

empty vessels: 2 Kings 3:16, John 2:7

borrow not a few: Heb. scant not, 2 Kings 13:18, 2 Kings 13:19, Psalms 81:10, John 16:24

Reciprocal: 2 Kings 8:4 - all the great Luke 5:6 - they enclosed

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he said, go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours,.... For he perceived that she had none:

even empty vessels; which they might more readily lend her:

borrow not a few; but as many as she could get; the prophet, under a divine impulse, was directed to say this to her, foreseeing, by a spirit of prophecy, that a large quantity of oil would be given her.
