2 Kings 4:12-25

12Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.

13He said to him, “Tell her: Behold, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can be done for you? Can something be communicated to the king or to the commander of the army for you?” She answered, “I am living among my own people.”

14So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” Then Gehazi answered, “In fact, she has no son, and her husband is old.”

15“Call her,” he said. And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.

16Then he said, “At this season next year, you will be embracing a son.” But she said, “No, my lord, do not lie to your handmaid, man of God.”

17Nevertheless, the woman conceived and bore a son during that season the following year, just as Elisha had told her.

18Now when the child was grown, one day he went out to his father among the reapers.

19Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20So he picked him up and brought him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon, and then died.

21She then went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him and went out.

22Then she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys that I may run to the man of God and come back.”

23But he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither New Moon nor Shabbat.” But she said, “It will be well.”

24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Move on! Don’t slow down riding unless I tell you.”

25So she set out and came near the man of God at Mount Carmel. Upon seeing her from a distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite.
