2 Kings 4:18-27
18AndH1961 the childH3206 grewH1431, and one dayH3117 he went outH3318 toH413 his fatherH1, who was withH413 the harvestersH7114.
19“My headH7218! My headH7218!” he complainedH559 toH413 his fatherH1.
So his father toldH559 a servantH5288, “Carry himH5375H413 toH413 his motherH517.”
20After the servant had picked him upH5375 and carried himH935 toH413 his motherH517, the boy satH3427 onH5921 her lapH1290 untilH5704 noonH6672, and then he diedH4191. 21And she went upH5927 and laid himH7901 onH5921 the bedH4296 of the manH376 of GodH430. Then she shutH5462H1157 the door and went outH3318.
22And the woman calledH7121H413 her husbandH376 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 sendH7971 me oneH259 ofH4480 the servantsH5288 and oneH259 of the donkeysH860, that I may go quicklyH7323 toH5704 the manH376 of GodH430 and returnH7725.”
23“WhyH4069 would youH859 goH1980 to himH413 todayH3117?” he repliedH559. “It is notH3808 a New MoonH2320 or a SabbathH7676.”
“Everything is all rightH7965,” she saidH559.
24Then she saddledH2280 the donkeyH860 and toldH559H413 her servantH5288, “DriveH5090 onwardH1980; do notH408 slowH6113 the paceH7392 for me unlessH518 I tellH559 you.” 25So she set outH1980 and wentH935 toH413 the manH376 of GodH430 atH413 MountH2022 CarmelH3760H1961.
When the manH376 of GodH430 sawH7200 herH853 at a distanceH5048, he saidH559 toH413 his servantH5288 GehaziH1522, “LookH2009, there isH1975 the Shunammite womanH7767. 26PleaseH4994 run outH7323 nowH6258 to meet herH7122 and askH559, ‘Are you all rightH7965? Is your husbandH376 all rightH7965? Is your childH3206 all rightH7965?’”
And she answeredH559, “Everything is all rightH7965.”
27When she reachedH935H413 the manH376 of GodH430 atH413 the mountainH2022, she clungH2388 to his feetH7272. GehaziH1522 came overH5066 to push her awayH1920, but the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, “Leave her aloneH7503, forH3588 her soulH5315 is in deep distressH4843, and the LORDH3068 has hiddenH5956 it from meH4480 and has notH3808 toldH5046 me.”
