Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:004:013 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been
careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for
thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the
captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own
people.
12:004:014 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi
answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
12:004:015 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood
in the door.
12:004:016 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life,
thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man
of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
12:004:017 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that
Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
12:004:018 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went
out to his father to the reapers.
12:004:019 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to
a lad, Carry him to his mother.
12:004:020 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he
sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
12:004:021 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God,
and shut the door upon him, and went out.
12:004:022 And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray
thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may
run to the man of God, and come again.
12:004:023 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is
neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
12:004:024 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and
go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
12:004:025 So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And
it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he
said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
12:004:026 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it
well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with
the child? And she answered, It is well:
12:004:027 And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught
him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And
the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed
within her: and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not
told me.
12:004:028 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say,
Do not deceive me?
12:004:029 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff
in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute
him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay
my staff upon the face of the child.
