2 Kings 4:8-20

8

One dayH3117 ElishaH477 wentH5674 toH413 ShunemH7766, and a prominentH1419 womanH802 who lived thereH8033 persuadedH2388 him to have a mealH398H3899. So wheneverH1961H1767 he would pass byH5674, he would stopH5493 thereH8033 to eatH398H3899.

9Then the woman saidH559 toH413 her husbandH376, “BeholdH2009, nowH4994 I knowH3045 thatH3588 the oneH1931 who oftenH8548 comes our wayH5674H5921 is a holyH6918 manH376 of GodH430. 10PleaseH4994 let us makeH6213 a smallH6996 room upstairsH5944H7023 and putH7760 in itH8033 a bedH4296, a tableH7979, a chairH3678, and a lampH4501 for him. Then whenH1961 he comesH935 to usH413, he can stayH5493 thereH8033.”

One dayH3117 Elisha came to visitH935H8033 and wentH5493 toH413 his upper roomH5944 to lie downH7901H8033. 12And he saidH559 toH413 GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, “CallH7121 theH2063 Shunammite womanH7767.”

And when he had calledH7121 her, she stoodH5975 before himH6440, 13and Elisha saidH559 to Gehazi, “NowH4994 tellH559 herH413, ‘LookH2009, you have gone to allH3605 thisH2063 troubleH2729H2731 for usH413. WhatH4100 can we doH6213 for youH3426? Can we speakH1696 on your behalf toH413 the kingH4428 orH176 the commanderH8269 of the armyH6635?’”

“IH595 have a homeH3427 amongH8432 my own peopleH5971,” she repliedH559.

14So he askedH559, “Then whatH4100 should be doneH6213 for her?”

“WellH61, she has noH369 sonH1121,” GehaziH1522 repliedH559, “and her husbandH376 is oldH2204.”

15“CallH7121 her,” said ElishaH559.

So Gehazi calledH7121 her, and she stoodH5975 in the doorwayH6607. 16And Elisha declaredH559, “At thisH2088 timeH4150 next yearH6256H2416, youH859 will holdH2263 a son in your armsH1121.”

“NoH408, my lordH113,” she saidH559. “Do notH408 lieH3576 to your maidservantH8198, O manH376 of GodH430.”

17But the womanH802 did conceiveH2029, and at thatH2088 timeH4150 the next yearH6256H2416 she gave birth toH3205 a sonH1121, just asH834 ElishaH477 had toldH1696 herH413.

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.
