2 Kings 4

1NowH1961 there criedH6817 a certainH259 womanH802 of the wivesH802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 unto ElishaH477, sayingH559, Thy servantH5650 my husbandH376 is deadH4191: and thou knowest that thy servantH5650 didH376 fearH3372 the LORDH3068: and the creditorH5383 is comeH935 to takeH3947 unto him my twoH8147 childrenH1121 to be bondmen. 2And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto herH3605, WhatH4100 shall I doH6213 for thee? tellH5046 meH413; whatH4100 hast thou in the houseH1004? And sheH3588 saidH559, Thine handmaid hath notH369 anyH3605 thingH3588 in the houseH1004, save a pot of oilH8081. 3Then he saidH559, Go, borrowH7592 thee vesselsH3627 abroadH2351 of allH3605 thy neighbours, evenH853 emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; borrowH7592 notH408 a fewH4591. 4And thou shalt goH935 in, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 uponH5921 thee and uponH5921 thy sonsH1121, and pourH3332 outH5265 intoH935 allH3605 thoseH428 vesselsH3627; and thou shalt setH5265 asideH5265 that whichH428 is fullH4392. 5SoH5066 sheH1931 wentH5066 from him, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 uponH413 herH413 and uponH413 herH413 sonsH1121; they broughtH5066 the vessels to herH413, and sheH1931 pouredH3332 outH3332. 6And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, that she saidH559 unto herH413 sonH1121, BringH5066 meH413 yet a vesselH3627. And he saidH559 unto herH413, There is notH369 a vesselH3627 moreH5750. And the oilH8081 stayedH5975. 7Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, GoH935, sellH4376 the oilH8081, and payH7999 thy debtH5386, and liveH2421 thou and thy sonsH1121 of the restH3498. 8And it fellH1961 on a dayH3117, that ElishaH477 passedH5674 to ShunemH7766, whereH8033 was a greatH1419 womanH802; and she constrained him to eatH398 breadH3899. And soH1961 it was, that as oft as he passedH5674 by, he turnedH5493 in thither to eatH398 breadH3899. 9And sheH1931 saidH559 unto herH413 husbandH376, BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I perceiveH3045 that this is an holyH6918 manH376 of GodH430, whichH1931 passeth by usH4994 continuallyH8548. 10LetH4994 usH4994 makeH7760, I prayH4994 thee, a littleH6996 chamberH5944 on the wallH7023; and letH4994 usH4994 setH7760 for him there a bedH4296, and a tableH7979, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to usH4994, that he shall turnH5493 in thither. 11And it fellH1961 on a dayH3117, that he cameH935 thither, and he turnedH5493 intoH413 the chamberH5944 and layH7901 there. 12And he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, CallH7121 this ShunammiteH7767. And when he had calledH7121 herH413, sheH7121 stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him. 13And he saidH559 unto him, SayH559 nowH4994 unto herH3605, BeholdH2009, thou hast been carefulH2729 for usH4994 with allH3605 this careH2731; whatH4100 is to be doneH6213 for thee? wouldest thou be spokenH1696 for to the kingH4428, or to the captainH8269 of the hostH6635? And sheH4100 answeredH559, I dwellH3427 among mine own peopleH5971. 14And he saidH559, WhatH4100 then is to be doneH6213 for herH559? And GehaziH1522 answeredH559, Verily sheH61 hath noH369 sonH1121, and herH559 husbandH376 is oldH1121. 15And he saidH559, CallH7121 herH7121. And when he had calledH7121 herH7121, sheH7121 stoodH5975 in the doorH6607. 16And he saidH559, At this seasonH6256, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embraceH2263 a sonH1121. And sheH6256 saidH559, Nay, my lordH113, thou manH376 of GodH430, doH408 notH408 lieH3576 unto thine handmaid. 17And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and bare a sonH1121 at that seasonH6256, when the time cameH413 round, as ElishaH477 had saidH1696 unto herH413. 18And when the childH3206 was grownH1431, it fellH3318 on a dayH3117, that he wentH3318 outH3318 to his fatherH1 to the reapers. 19And he saidH559 unto his fatherH1, My headH7218, my headH7218. And he saidH559 to his servantH5288, CarryH5375 him to his motherH517. 20And when he had takenH5375 him, and broughtH935 him to his motherH517, he satH3427 on herH413 kneesH1290 tillH5704 noonH6672, and then diedH4191. 21And sheH7901 wentH3318 upH5927, and laidH7901 him on the bedH4296 of the manH376 of GodH430, and shutH5462 the door uponH5921 him, and wentH3318 outH3318. 22And sheH7121 calledH7121 unto herH413 husbandH376, and saidH559, SendH7971 meH413, I prayH4994 thee, one of the servantsH5288, and one of the asses, that I may runH7323 to the manH376 of GodH430, and comeH7725 againH7725. 23And he saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou goH1980 to him todayH3117? it is neitherH3808 newH2320 moonH2320 norH3808 sabbathH7676. And sheH1980 saidH559, It shall be wellH7965. 24Then sheH3588 saddledH2280 an ass, and saidH559 to herH413 servantH5288, Drive, and go forward; slacken meH413 notH408 the ridingH7392, exceptH518 I bid thee. 25SoH1961 she wentH935, and cameH935 unto the manH376 of GodH430 to mountH2022 CarmelH3760. And it cameH935 to passH935, when the manH376 of GodH430 sawH7200 herH413 afar offH853, that he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, BeholdH2009, yonder is the ShunammiteH7767: 26runH7323, I prayH4994 thee, nowH6258 to meetH7125 herH559, and sayH559 unto herH559, Is it wellH7965 with thee? is it wellH7965 with thy husbandH376? is it wellH7965 with the childH3206? And she answeredH559, It is wellH7965. 27And when sheH3588 cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 to the hillH2022, sheH3588 caughtH2388 holdH2388 of his feetH7272. And GehaziH1522 cameH935 nearH5066 to thrustH1920 herH413 awayH4480; but the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, LetH7503 herH413 aloneH7503: for herH413 soulH5315 is vexed withinH935 herH413; and the LORDH3068 hath hid it from meH413, and hath notH3808 toldH5046 meH413. 28Then sheH3808 saidH559, DidH3808 I desire a sonH1121 of my lordH113? didH3808 I notH3808 sayH559, Do notH3808 deceive meH7592? 29Then he saidH559 to GehaziH1522, GirdH2296 upH5921 thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947 my staffH4938 in thine handH3027, and go thy wayH6440: ifH3588 thou meetH6440 anyH376 manH376, saluteH1288 him notH3808; and ifH3588 anyH376 saluteH1288 thee, answerH6030 him notH3808 againH6440: and layH7760 my staffH4938 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the childH5288. 30And the motherH517 of the childH5288 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 liveth, and as thy soulH5315 liveth, I will notH518 leaveH5800 thee. And he aroseH6965, and followedH310 herH518. 31And GehaziH1522 passedH5674 on beforeH6440 them, and laidH7760 the staffH4938 uponH5921 the faceH6440 of the childH5288; but there was neitherH3808 voiceH6963, norH3808 hearing. Wherefore he returnedH7725 to meetH6440 him, and toldH5046 him, sayingH559, The childH5288 is notH3808 awaked. 32And when ElishaH477 was comeH935 intoH935 the houseH1004, beholdH2009, the childH5288 was deadH4191, and laidH7901 uponH5921 his bedH4296. 33He wentH935 in therefore, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 uponH935 them twain, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068. 34And he wentH5927 upH5927, and layH7901 uponH5921 the childH3206, and putH7760 his mouthH6310 uponH5921 his mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 uponH5921 his eyesH5869, and his handsH3709 uponH5921 his handsH3709: and he stretchedH1457 himself uponH5921 him; and the fleshH1320 of the childH3206 waxed warmH2552. 35Then he returnedH7725, and walked in the houseH1004 onceH259 to and froH7725; and wentH5927 upH5927, and stretchedH1457 himself uponH5921 him: and the childH5288 sneezedH2237 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the childH5288 openedH6491 his eyesH5869. 36And he calledH7121 GehaziH1522, and saidH559, CallH7121 this ShunammiteH7767. SoH7121 he calledH7121 herH413. And when sheH7121 was comeH935 in ontoH413 him, he saidH559, TakeH5375 upH5375 thy sonH1121. 37Then she wentH3318 in, and fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and bowedH7812 herselfH7812 to the groundH776; and she tookH5375 upH5375 herH5921 sonH1121, and wentH3318 outH3318. 38And ElishaH477 cameH7725 againH7725 to GilgalH1537: and there was a dearth in the landH776; and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 were sittingH3427 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, SetH3427 on the greatH1419 potH5518, and seetheH1310 pottage for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030. 39And one wentH3318 outH3318 intoH413 the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbs, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612, and gatheredH3950 thereof wildH7704 gourdsH6498 his lap fullH4393, and cameH935 and shred them intoH413 the potH5518 of pottage: for they knewH3045 them notH3808. 40SoH1961 they pouredH3332 outH3332 for the menH376 to eatH398. And it cameH1961 to passH1961, as they were eatingH398 of the pottage, that they criedH6817 outH3332, and saidH559, O manH376 of GodH430, there is deathH4194 in the potH5518. And they couldH3201 notH3808 eatH398 thereof. 41But he saidH559, Then bringH3947 mealH7058. And he castH7993 it intoH413 the potH5518; and he saidH559, PourH3332 outH3332 for the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. And there was noH3808 harmH7451 in the potH5518. 42And there cameH935 a manH376 from Baal-shalishahH1190, and broughtH935 the manH376 of GodH430 breadH3899 of the firstfruits, twentyH6242 loavesH3899 of barleyH8184, and freshH3759 earsH3759 of corn in his sackH6861. And he saidH559, GiveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. 43And his servantH8334 saidH559, WhatH4100, should I setH5414 this beforeH6440 an hundredH3967 menH376? But he saidH559, GiveH5414 the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398; for thusH3541 saith the LORDH3068, They shall eatH398, and shall leaveH3498 thereof. 44SoH5414 he setH5414 it beforeH6440 them, and they did eatH398, and leftH3498 thereof, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.
