2 Kings 4:8-37

And it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that Elisha
<0477>
passed
<05674> (8799)
to Shunem
<07766>_,
where [was] a great
<01419>
woman
<0802>_;
and she constrained
<02388> (8686)
him to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_.
And [so] it was, [that] as oft
<01767>
as he passed by
<05674> (8800)_,
he turned
<05493> (8799)
in thither to eat
<0398> (8800)
bread
<03899>_.
{it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day} {constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him}
And she said
<0559> (8799)
unto her husband
<0376>_,
Behold now, I perceive
<03045> (8804)
that this [is] an holy
<06918>
man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
which passeth
<05674> (8802)
by us continually
<08548>_.
Let us make
<06213> (8799)
a little
<06996>
chamber
<05944>_,
I pray thee, on the wall
<07023>_;
and let us set
<07760> (8799)
for him there a bed
<04296>_,
and a table
<07979>_,
and a stool
<03678>_,
and a candlestick
<04501>_:
and it shall be, when he cometh
<0935> (8800)
to us, that he shall turn
<05493> (8799)
in thither.
And it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that he came
<0935> (8799)
thither, and he turned
<05493> (8799)
into the chamber
<05944>_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
there.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>
his servant
<05288>_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
this Shunammite
<07767>_.
And when he had called
<07121> (8799)
her, she stood
<05975> (8799)
before
<06440>
him.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto him, Say
<0559> (8798)
now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful
<02729> (8804)
for us with all this care
<02731>_;
what [is] to be done
<06213> (8800)
for thee? wouldest
<03426>
thou be spoken
<01696> (8763)
for to the king
<04428>_,
or to the captain
<08269>
of the host
<06635>_?
And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
I dwell
<03427> (8802)
among
<08432>
mine own people
<05971>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
What then [is] to be done
<06213> (8800)
for her? And Gehazi
<01522>
answered
<0559> (8799)_,
Verily
<061>
she hath no child
<01121>_,
and her husband
<0376>
is old
<02204> (8804)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
her. And when he had called
<07121> (8799)
her, she stood
<05975> (8799)
in the door
<06607>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
About this season
<04150>_,
according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_,
thou shalt embrace
<02263> (8802)
a son
<01121>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Nay, my lord
<0113>_,
[thou] man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
do not lie
<03576> (8762)
unto thine handmaid
<08198>_.
{season: Heb. set time}
And the woman
<0802>
conceived
<02029> (8799)_,
and bare
<03205> (8799)
a son
<01121>
at that season
<04150>
that Elisha
<0477>
had said
<01696> (8765)
unto her, according to the time
<06256>
of life
<02416>_.
And when the child
<03206>
was grown
<01431> (8799)_,
it fell on a day
<03117>_,
that he went out
<03318> (8799)
to his father
<01>
to the reapers
<07114> (8802)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
unto his father
<01>_,
My head
<07218>_,
my head
<07218>_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)
to a lad
<05288>_,
Carry
<05375> (8798)
him to his mother
<0517>_.
And when he had taken
<05375> (8799)
him, and brought
<0935> (8686)
him to his mother
<0517>_,
he sat
<03427> (8799)
on her knees
<01290>
till noon
<06672>_,
and [then] died
<04191> (8799)_.
And she went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and laid
<07901> (8686)
him on the bed
<04296>
of the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and shut
<05462> (8799)
[the door] upon him, and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
And she called
<07121> (8799)
unto her husband
<0376>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Send
<07971> (8798)
me, I pray thee, one
<0259>
of the young men
<05288>_,
and one
<0259>
of the asses
<0860>_,
that I may run
<07323> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>_,
and come again
<07725> (8799)_.
And he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Wherefore wilt thou go
<01980> (8802)
to him to day
<03117>_?
[it is] neither new moon
<02320>_,
nor sabbath
<07676>_.
And she said
<0559> (8799)_,
[It shall be] well
<07965>_.
{well: Heb. peace}
Then she saddled
<02280> (8799)
an ass
<0860>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)
to her servant
<05288>_,
Drive
<05090> (8798)_,
and go forward
<03212> (8798)_;
slack
<06113> (8799)
not [thy] riding
<07392> (8800)
for me, except I bid
<0559> (8804)
thee. {slack...: Heb. restrain not for me to ride}
So she went
<03212> (8799)
and came
<0935> (8799)
unto the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to mount
<02022>
Carmel
<03760>_.
And it came to pass, when the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
saw her afar off
<07200> (8800)_,
that he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>
his servant
<05288>_,
Behold, [yonder is] that
<01975>
Shunammite
<07767>_:
Run
<07323> (8798)
now, I pray thee, to meet
<07125> (8800)
her, and say
<0559> (8798)
unto her, [Is it] well
<07965>
with thee? [is it] well
<07965>
with thy husband
<0376>_?
[is it] well
<07965>
with the child
<03206>_?
And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,
[It is] well
<07965>_.
And when she came
<0935> (8799)
to the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
to the hill
<02022>_,
she caught
<02388> (8686)
him by the feet
<07272>_:
but Gehazi
<01522>
came near
<05066> (8799)
to thrust her away
<01920> (8800)_.
And the man
<0376>
of God
<0430>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
Let her alone
<07503> (8685)_;
for her soul
<05315>
[is] vexed
<04843> (8804)
within her: and the LORD
<03068>
hath hid
<05956> (8689)
[it] from me, and hath not told
<05046> (8689)
me. {him...: Heb. by his feet} {vexed: Heb. bitter}
Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,
Did I desire
<07592> (8804)
a son
<01121>
of my lord
<0113>_?
did I not say
<0559> (8804)_,
Do not deceive
<07952> (8686)
me?
Then he said
<0559> (8799)
to Gehazi
<01522>_,
Gird up
<02296> (8798)
thy loins
<04975>_,
and take
<03947> (8798)
my staff
<04938>
in thine hand
<03027>_,
and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:
if thou meet
<04672> (8799)
any man
<0376>_,
salute
<01288> (8762)
him not; and if any
<0376>
salute
<01288> (8762)
thee, answer him not again
<06030> (8799)_:
and lay
<07760> (8804)
my staff
<04938>
upon the face
<06440>
of the child
<05288>_.
And the mother
<0517>
of the child
<05288>
said
<0559> (8799)_,
[As] the LORD
<03068>
liveth
<02416>_,
and [as] thy soul
<05315>
liveth
<02416>_,
I will not leave
<05800> (8799)
thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,
and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>
her.
And Gehazi
<01522>
passed on
<05674> (8804)
before
<06440>
them, and laid
<07760> (8799)
the staff
<04938>
upon the face
<06440>
of the child
<05288>_;
but [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,
nor hearing
<07182>_.
Wherefore he went again
<07725> (8799)
to meet
<07125> (8800)
him, and told
<05046> (8686)
him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,
The child
<05288>
is not awaked
<06974> (8689)_.
{hearing: Heb. attention}
And when Elisha
<0477>
was come
<0935> (8799)
into the house
<01004>_,
behold, the child
<05288>
was dead
<04191> (8801)_,
[and] laid
<07901> (8716)
upon his bed
<04296>_.
He went in
<0935> (8799)
therefore, and shut
<05462> (8799)
the door
<01817>
upon them twain
<08147>_,
and prayed
<06419> (8691)
unto the LORD
<03068>_.
And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and lay
<07901> (8799)
upon the child
<03206>_,
and put
<07760> (8799)
his mouth
<06310>
upon his mouth
<06310>_,
and his eyes
<05869>
upon his eyes
<05869>_,
and his hands
<03709>
upon his hands
<03709>_:
and he stretched
<01457> (8799)
himself upon the child; and the flesh
<01320>
of the child
<03206>
waxed warm
<02552> (8799)_.
Then he returned
<07725> (8799)_,
and walked
<03212> (8799)
in the house
<01004>
to
<0259> <02008>
and fro
<0259> <02008>_;
and went up
<05927> (8799)_,
and stretched
<01457> (8799)
himself upon him: and the child
<05288>
sneezed
<02237> (8779)
seven
<07651>
times
<06471>_,
and the child
<05288>
opened
<06491> (8799)
his eyes
<05869>_.
{to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither}
And he called
<07121> (8799)
Gehazi
<01522>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
Call
<07121> (8798)
this Shunammite
<07767>_.
So he called
<07121> (8799)
her. And when she was come in
<0935> (8799)
unto him, he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Take up
<05375> (8798)
thy son
<01121>_.
Then she went in
<0935> (8799)_,
and fell
<05307> (8799)
at his feet
<07272>_,
and bowed
<07812> (8691)
herself to the ground
<0776>_,
and took up
<05375> (8799)
her son
<01121>_,
and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
