Let us make a small roof chamber with walls, and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that he can stay there whenever he comes to us."
11
One day when he came there, he went up to the chamber and lay down there.
12
He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call the Shunammite woman." When he had called her, she stood before him.
13
He said to him, "Say to her, Since you have taken all this trouble for us, what may be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?" She answered, "I live among my own people."
14
He said, "What then may be done for her?" Gehazi answered, "Well, she has no son, and her husband is old."
15
He said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood at the door.
16
He said, "At this season, in due time, you shall embrace a son." She replied, "No, my lord, O man of God; do not deceive your servant."
17
The woman conceived and bore a son at that season, in due time, as Elisha had declared to her.
18
When the child was older, he went out one day to his father among the reapers.
19
He complained to his father, "Oh, my head, my head!" The father said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
20
He carried him and brought him to his mother; the child sat on her lap until noon, and he died.
