1 # Now there cried <06817> (8804) a certain <0259> woman <0802> of the wives <0802> of the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030> unto Elisha <0477>, saying <0559> (8800), Thy servant <05650> my husband <0376> is dead <04191> (8804); and thou knowest <03045> (8804) that thy servant <05650> did fear <03373> the LORD <03068>: and the creditor <05383> (8802) is come <0935> (8804) to take <03947> (8800) unto him my two <08147> sons <03206> to be bondmen <05650>.
2 And Elisha <0477> said <0559> (8799) unto her, What shall I do <06213> (8799) for thee? tell <05046> (8685) me, what hast <03426> thou in the house <01004>? And she said <0559> (8799), Thine handmaid <08198> hath not any thing in the house <01004>, save a pot <0610> of oil <08081>.
3 Then he said <0559> (8799), Go <03212> (8798), borrow <07592> (8798) thee vessels <03627> abroad <02351> of all thy neighbours <07934>, even empty <07386> vessels <03627>; borrow not a few <04591> (8686) .
4 And when thou art come in <0935> (8804), thou shalt shut <05462> (8804) the door <01817> upon thee and upon thy sons <01121>, and shalt pour out <03332> (8804) into all those vessels <03627>, and thou shalt set aside <05265> (8686) that which is full <04392>.
5 So she went <03212> (8799) from him, and shut <05462> (8799) the door <01817> upon her and upon <01157> her sons <01121>, who <01992> brought <05066> (8688) the vessels to her; and she poured out <03332> (8716).
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels <03627> were full <04390> (8800), that she said <0559> (8799) unto her son <01121>, Bring <05066> (8685) me yet a vessel <03627>. And he said <0559> (8799) unto her, There is not a vessel <03627> more. And the oil <08081> stayed <05975> (8799).
7 Then she came <0935> (8799) and told <05046> (8686) the man <0376> of God <0430>. And he said <0559> (8799), Go <03212> (8798), sell <04376> (8798) the oil <08081>, and pay <07999> (8761) thy debt <05386>, and live <02421> (8799) thou and thy children <01121> of the rest <03498> (8737).
8 # 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>.
9 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>.
10 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.
11 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.
12 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.
13 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>.
14 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).
15 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>.
16 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>.
17 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>.
18 # 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).
19 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>.
20 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).
21 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).
22 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).
23 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>.
24 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.
25 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>:
26 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>.
27 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.
28 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?
29 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>.
30 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.
31 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).
32 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>.
33 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>.
34 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).
35 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>.
36 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>.
37 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).
38 # And Elisha <0477> came again <07725> (8804) to Gilgal <01537>: and there was a dearth <07458> in the land <0776>; and the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030> were sitting <03427> (8802) before <06440> him: and he said <0559> (8799) unto his servant <05288>, Set <08239> (8798) on the great <01419> pot <05518>, and seethe <01310> (8761) pottage <05138> for the sons <01121> of the prophets <05030>.
39 And one <0259> went out <03318> (8799) into the field <07704> to gather <03950> (8763) herbs <0219>, and found <04672> (8799) a wild <07704> vine <01612>, and gathered <03950> (8762) thereof wild <07704> gourds <06498> his lap <0899> full <04393>, and came <0935> (8799) and shred <06398> (8762) them into the pot <05518> of pottage <05138>: for they knew <03045> (8804) them not.
40 So they poured out <03332> (8799) for the men <0582> to eat <0398> (8800). And it came to pass, as they were eating <0398> (8800) of the pottage <05138>, that they cried out <06817> (8804), and said <0559> (8799), O thou man <0376> of God <0430>, there is death <04194> in the pot <05518>. And they could <03201> (8804) not eat <0398> (8800) thereof.
41 But he said <0559> (8799), Then bring <03947> (8798) meal <07058>. And he cast <07993> (8686) it into the pot <05518>; and he said <0559> (8799), Pour out <03332> (8798) for the people <05971>, that they may eat <0398> (8799). And there was no harm <01697> <07451> in the pot <05518>.
42 And there came <0935> (8802) a man <0376> from Baalshalisha <01190>, and brought <0935> (8686) the man <0376> of God <0430> bread <03899> of the firstfruits <01061>, twenty <06242> loaves <03899> of barley <08184> , and full ears of corn <03759> in the husk <06861> thereof. And he said <0559> (8799), Give <05414> (8798) unto the people <05971>, that they may eat <0398> (8799).
43 And his servitor <08334> (8764) said <0559> (8799), What, should I set <05414> (8799) this before <06440> an hundred <03967> men <0376>? He said again <0559> (8799), Give <05414> (8798) the people <05971> , that they may eat <0398> (8799): for thus saith <0559> (8804) the LORD <03068>, They shall eat <0398> (8800) , and shall leave <03498> (8687) thereof.
44 So he set <05414> (8799) it before <06440> them, and they did eat <0398> (8799), and left <03498> (8686) thereof, according to the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>.
