2 Kings 4:8-20
8And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of 1God, who passes by us continually.
10Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.
11And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.
13And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.
14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi said, Verily, she has no son, and her husband is old.
15And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway.
16And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of 2God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
17And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.
18And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother.
20And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.
