He said, "What, then, is to be done for her?" Geichazi answered, "There's one thing - she doesn't have a son; and her husband is old.
15
Elisha said, "Call her." After he called her, she stood in the doorway.
16
He said, "Next year, when the season comes around, you will be holding a son." "No, my lord," she answered. "Man of God, don't lie to your servant!"
17
But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son the following year when the season came around, just as Elisha had said to her.
18
When the child was old enough, he went out one day to be with his father, who was with the reapers.
19
Suddenly he cried out to his father, "My head! My head hurts!" He said to his servant, "Carry him back to his mother."
20
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he lay on her lap until noon; and then he died.
21
She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him and went out.
22
She called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants with a donkey. I must get to the man of God as fast as I can; I'll come straight back."
23
He asked, "Why are you going to him today? It isn't Rosh-Hodesh and it isn't Shabbat." She said, "It's all right."
24
Then she saddled the donkey and ordered her servant, "Drive as fast as you can; don't slow down for me unless I say so."
