2 Kings 4:12-25
12And he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, CallH7121 this ShunammiteH7767. And he calledH7121 her, and she stoodH5975 before him.
13And he saidH559 to him, SayH559 now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spokenH1696 for to the kingH4428, or to the captain of the hostH6635? And she saidH559, I dwellH3427 among mine own peopleH5971.
14And he saidH559, What then is to be done for her? And GehaziH1522 saidH559, Verily, she has no sonH1121, and her husbandH376 is old.
15And he saidH559, CallH7121 her; and he calledH7121 her; and she stoodH5975 in the doorwayH6607.
16And he saidH559, At this appointedH4150 timeH6256, when thy term is come, thou shalt embraceH2263 a sonH1121. And she saidH559, No, my lordH113, manH376 of 1GodH430, do not lieH3576 to thy handmaid.
17And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 a sonH1121 at that appointedH4150 timeH6256 in the next year as ElishaH477 had saidH1696 to her.
18And the childH3206 grewH1431, and it came to pass one dayH3117, that he wentH3318 out to his fatherH1 to the reapers.
19And he saidH559 to his fatherH1, My headH7218, my headH7218! And he saidH559 to the servantH5288, CarryH5375 him to his motherH517.
20And he carriedH5375 him, and broughtH935 him to his motherH517; and he satH3427 on her knees till noonH6672, and diedH4191.
21And she wentH3318 up, and laidH7901 him on the bedH4296 of the manH376 of 2GodH430, and shutH5462 [the door] upon him, and wentH3318 out.
22And she calledH7121 to her husbandH376, and saidH559, SendH7971 me, I pray thee, oneH259 of the youngH5288 menH376, and oneH259 of the asses, and I will runH7323 to the manH376 of 3GodH430, and come again.
23And he saidH559, WhyH4069 wilt thou goH1980 to him to-day? It is neither newH2320 moonH2320 nor sabbathH7676. And she saidH559, [It is] well.
24Then she saddledH2280 the ass, and saidH559 to her servantH5288, Drive and go forward; slack not the ridingH7392 for me, except I bid thee.
25And she wentH935 and cameH935 to the manH376 of 4GodH430, to mount CarmelH3760. And it cameH935 to pass when the manH376 of 5GodH430 sawH7200 her afar off, that he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, Behold, there is the ShunammiteH7767:
