And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call thou this Shunammite. And when he had called her, and she had stood before him,
13
he said to his servant, Speak thou to her, Lo! thou hast ministered to us busily in all things; what wilt thou that I do to thee? Whether thou hast a cause, and wilt that I speak to the king, either to the prince of the chivalry? And she answered, I dwell in the midst of my people. (And then she went away.) (he said to his servant, Speak thou to her, and say, Lo! thou hast busily served us in all things; what wilt thou that I do for thee? Hast thou a case, that I speak about to the king, or to the leader of the cavalry, or of the army? And she answered, All is well; I live here in the midst of my people. And then she went away.)
14
And he said, What then will she that I do to her? (And he said, What then desireth her that I should do for her?) [And] Gehazi said to him, Ask thou not (me), for she hath no son, and her husband is eld.
15
Therefore Elisha commanded, that he should call her (back). And when she was called, and stood before the door,
16
he said to her, In this time, as in (the) time of life (At this time, next year), thou shalt embrace a son. And she answered, Do not thou, my lord, the man of God, I beseech (thee), do not thou lie to thine handmaid.
17
And the woman conceived, and childed a son in the time, and in the same hour, in which Elisha had said. (And the woman conceived, and bare a son at the time, and at the hour, in which Elisha had said.)
18
Soothly the child increased; and when some day was, and the child was gone out, and went to his father, and to the reapers, (And the child grew; and then one day, when the child went out to his father, and to the reapers,)
19
he said to his father, Mine head acheth, mine head acheth. And his father said to a servant, Take (him), and lead him to his mother.
20
And when he had taken (him), and had brought him to his mother, she setted him on her knees unto midday, and he was dead (and then he died).
21
Certainly she went up, and laid him on the little bed of the man of God, and closed the door. And she went out,
22
and called her husband, and said, I beseech, send thou with me one of the servants, and an ass, and I shall run out unto the man of God, and I shall turn again (and then I shall return).
