2 Kings 4:18-37 ▼

18 And the child will grow; and the day will be and he will go forth to his father to those reaping.

19 And he will say to his father, My head, my head. And he will say to the boy, Lift him up to his mother.

20 And he will lift him up and bring him to his mother, and he will lift him up and bring him to his mother, and he will sit upon her knees till noon, and he will die.

21 And she will go up and lay him down upon the bed of the man of God, and she will shut up after her and go forth.

22 And she will call to her husband and say, Send now to me one of the boys, and one of the she asses, and I will run even to the man of God, and I will turn back.

23 And he will say, Wherefore goest thou to him this day? not new moon, and not Sabbath. And she will say, Peace.

24 And she will saddle the ass, and say to her boy, Lead on, and go; thou shalt not hold back for me to ride except I said to thee.

25 And she will go and come to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it will be when the man of God saw her from opposite, and he will say to Gehazi his boy, Behold this Shunamitess.

26 Now run now to her meeting, and say to her, Is peace to thee? and to thy husband? and peace to the child And she will say, Peace.

27 And she will come to the man of God to the mountain, and she will lay hold upon his feet; and Gehazi will come near to push her away; and the man of God will say, Let go to her, for her soul is bitter to her: and Jehovah hid from me and announced not to me.

28 And she will say, Did I ask a son from my lord? said I not, Thou shalt not deceive me?

29 And he will say to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins and take my prop in thy hand, and go: If thou shalt find a man, thou shalt not praise him; and if a man shall praise thee, thou shalt not answer him: and put my prop upon the face of the boy.

30 And the mother of the boy will say, Jehovah lives and thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And he will rise and go after her.

31 And Gehazi passed over before them, and he will put the prop upon the face of the boy, and no voice and no attention. And he will turn back to meet him; and he will announce to him, saying, The boy awaked not.

32 And Elisha will go into the house, and behold, the boy dead, lying upon his bed.

33 And he will go in and shut the door after them two, and he will pray to Jehovah.

34 And he will come up and lie down upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hand; and he will bow himself upon him, and the flesh of the child will be warm.

35 And he will turn back and go into the house, once hence, and once thence; and he will go up, and he will bow himself upon him: and the boy will sneeze, even to seven times; and the boy will open his eyes.

36 And he will call to Gehazi and say, Call to this Shunamitess. And he will call her, and she will come to him, and he will say, Lift up thy son.

37 And she will go in and fall at his feet, and worship him to the earth; and she will lift up her son and go forth.
