2 Kings 4:12-25
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:
