2 Kings 4:17-36

17Now the womanH802 conceivedH2029 and gaveH3205 birthH3205 to a sonH1121 at that seasonH4150 1the nextH2416 yearH6256, as ElishaH477 had toldH1696 her.

18When the childH3206 was grownH1431, the dayH3117 cameH1961 that he wentH3318 outH3318 to his fatherH1, to the reapersH7114. 19And he saidH559 to his fatherH1, “My headH7218, my headH7218!” And his father saidH559 to his servantH5288, “CarryH5375 him to his motherH517.” 20When he had carriedH5375 him and broughtH935 him to his motherH517, he satH3427 on her 2lapH1290 untilH5704 noonH6672, and then he diedH4191. 21And she wentH5927 upH5927 and 3laidH7901 him on the bedH4296 of 4the manH376 of GodH430, and shutH5462 the door behindH1157 him and leftH3318. 22Then she calledH7121 to her husbandH376 and saidH559, “PleaseH4994 sendH7971 me oneH259 of the servantsH5288 and oneH259 of the donkeysH860, so that I may runH7323 to the manH376 of GodH430 and returnH7725.” 23But he saidH559, “WhyH4069 are you goingH1980 to him todayH3117? It is neitherH3808 5newH2320 moonH2320 norH3808 SabbathH7676.” So she just saidH559, “It will be fineH7965.” 24Then she saddledH2280 the donkeyH860 and saidH559 to her servantH5288, “DriveH5090 the donkey and goH1980 on; do not slowH6113 downH6113 6the paceH7392 for me unlessH3588H518 I tellH559 you.” 25So she wentH1980 on and cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 at 7MountH2022 CarmelH3760.

When the manH376 of GodH430 sawH7200 her at a distanceH4480H5048, he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, “BeholdH2009, thatH1975 personH1975 thereH1975 is the ShunammiteH7767. 26PleaseH4994 runH7323 nowH6258 to meetH7122 her and sayH559 to her, ‘Is it going wellH7965 for you? Is it going wellH7965 for your husbandH376? Is it going wellH7965 for the childH3206?’” Then she 8answeredH559, “It is going wellH7965.” 27But she cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 9at the hillH2022 and tookH2388 holdH2388 of his feetH7272. And GehaziH1522 cameH5066 upH5066 to pushH1920 her awayH1920, but the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, “LeaveH7503 her aloneH7503, for her soulH5315 isH4843 10troubledH4843 within her; and the LordH3068 has concealedH5956 it from me and has not informedH5046 me.” 28Then she saidH559, “Did I askH7592 for a sonH1121 from my lordH113? Did I not sayH559, ‘11Do not giveH7951 me falseH7951 hopeH7951’?”

29Then he saidH559 to GehaziH1522, “1213GetH2296H4975 readyH2296H4975 and 14takeH3947 my staffH4938 in your handH3027, and goH1980; ifH3588 you meetH4672 anyoneH376, do not 1516greetH1288 him, and ifH3588 anyoneH376 17greetsH1288 you, do not replyH6030 to him. And 18layH7760 my staffH4938 on the boy’sH5288 faceH6440.” 30The motherH517 of the boyH5288 saidH559, “19As surely as the LordH3068 livesH2416 and you yourselfH5315 liveH2416, I will not leaveH5800 you.” So he gotH6965 upH6965 and followedH1980H310 her. 31Then GehaziH1522 wentH5674 onH5674 aheadH6440 of them and laidH7760 the staffH4938 on the boy’sH5288 faceH6440, but thereH369 wasH369 noH369 soundH6963 orH369 20responseH7182. So he returnedH7725 to meetH7122 him and informedH5046 him, sayingH559, “The boyH5288 21has not awakenedH7019.”

32When ElishaH477 enteredH935 the houseH1004, beholdH2009 the boyH5288 was deadH4191, laidH7901 on his bedH4296. 33So he enteredH935 and 22shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 them bothH8147, and he prayedH6419 to the LordH3068. 34Then 23he gotH5927 upH5927 on the bed and layH7901 on the childH3206, and putH7760 his mouthH6310 on his mouthH6310, his eyesH5869 on his eyesH5869, his handsH3709 on his handsH3709, and he bentH1457 downH1457 on him; and the fleshH1320 of the childH3206 becameH2552 warmH2552. 35Then he returnedH7725 and walkedH1980 in the houseH1004 backH2008 and forthH2008 onceH259, and wentH5927 upH5927 and 24bentH1457 downH1457 on him; and the boyH5288 sneezedH2237 sevenH7651 timesH6471, then the boyH5288 openedH6491 his eyesH5869. 36And he calledH7121 GehaziH1522 and saidH559, “CallH7121 thisH2088 ShunammiteH7767.” So he calledH7121 her. And when she cameH935 to him, he saidH559, “PickH5375 upH5375 your sonH1121.”
