Commentary on 2 Kings 4:5

Theological / Devotional

She poured out. The widow did not stumble because of unbelief. She responded immediately to the prophet’s instructions, and enlisted also the cooperation of her sons. If the sons were to be saved from lives of servitude, they also had something to do for themselves. Her faith and obedience engendered faith and obedience in her sons. Faith gives rise to faith, and obedience on the part of one encourages obedience on the part of others.
