2 Kings 4:17-35
17And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and boreH3205 a sonH1121 at that seasonH4150 that ElishaH477 had saidH1696 to her, according to the set timeH6256H2416.
18And when the childH3206 was grownH1431, it happened on a dayH3117, that he went outH3318 to his fatherH1 to the reapersH7114. 19And he saidH559 to his fatherH1, My headH7218, my headH7218. And he saidH559 to a ladH5288, CarryH5375 him to his motherH517. 20And when he had takenH5375 him, and broughtH935 him to his motherH517, he satH3427 on her kneesH1290 till noonH6672, and then diedH4191. 21And she went upH5927, and laidH7901 him on the bedH4296 of the manH376 of GodH430, and shutH5462 the door upon him, and went outH3318. 22And she calledH7121 to her husbandH376, and saidH559, SendH7971 me, I pray thee, oneH259 of the young menH5288, and oneH259 of the donkeysH860, that I may runH7323 to the manH376 of GodH430, and come againH7725. 23And he saidH559, Why wilt thou goH1980 to him to dayH3117? it is neither new moonH2320, nor sabbathH7676. And she saidH559, It shall be wellH7965.1 24Then she saddledH2280 a donkeyH860, and saidH559 to her servantH5288, DriveH5090, and go forwardH3212; slackH6113 not thy ridingH7392 for me, except I bidH559 thee.2 25So she wentH3212 and cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 to mountH2022 CarmelH3760. And it came to pass, when the manH376 of GodH430 saw her afar offH7200, that he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, Behold, yonder is thatH1975 ShunammiteH7767: 26RunH7323 now, I pray thee, to meetH7125 her, and sayH559 to her, 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 she cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 to the hillH2022, she caughtH2388 him by the feetH7272: but GehaziH1522 came nearH5066 to thrust her awayH1920. And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, Let her aloneH7503; for her soulH5315 is sorrowfulH4843 within her: and the LORDH3068 hath hidH5956 it from me, and hath not toldH5046 me.34 28Then she saidH559, Did I askH7592 a sonH1121 from my lordH113? did I not sayH559, Do not deceiveH7952 me? 29Then he saidH559 to GehaziH1522, Gird upH2296 thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947 my staffH4938 in thy handH3027, and go thy wayH3212: and if thou shalt meetH4672 any manH376, greetH1288 him not; and if anyH376 shall greetH1288 thee, answer him not againH6030: and layH7760 my staffH4938 upon the faceH6440 of the childH5288. 30And the motherH517 of the childH5288 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And he aroseH6965, and followedH3212H310 her. 31And GehaziH1522 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 them, and laidH7760 the staffH4938 upon the faceH6440 of the childH5288; but there was neither voiceH6963, nor hearingH7182. Therefore he went againH7725 to meetH7125 him, and toldH5046 him, sayingH559, The childH5288 is not awakenedH6974.5 32And when ElishaH477 had comeH935 into the houseH1004, behold, the childH5288 was deadH4191, and laidH7901 upon his bedH4296. 33He went inH935 therefore, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon them bothH8147, and prayedH6419 to the LORDH3068. 34And he went upH5927, and layH7901 upon the childH3206, and putH7760 his mouthH6310 upon his mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 upon his eyesH5869, and his handsH3709 upon his handsH3709: and he stretchedH1457 himself upon the child; and the fleshH1320 of the childH3206 became warmH2552. 35Then he returnedH7725, and walkedH3212 in the houseH1004 toH259H2008 and froH259H2008; and went upH5927, and stretchedH1457 himself upon him: and the childH5288 sneezedH2237 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the childH5288 openedH6491 his eyesH5869.6
