2 Kings 4:23-42

23And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.

24Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee.

25And she went and came to the man of 1God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of 2God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:

26run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, It is well.

27And she came to the man of 3God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of 4God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

28And she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.

30And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.

31And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.

32And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

33And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.

34And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

35And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

36And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.

37And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

38And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.

39Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them.

40And they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out and said, Man of 5God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat [it].

41And he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.

42And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of 6God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.
