Now there cried
a certain
woman
of the wives
of the sons
of the prophets
unto Elisha,
saying,
Thy servant
my husband
is dead;
and thou knowest
that thy servant
did fear
the LORD:
and the creditor
is come
to take
unto him my two
sons
to be bondmen.
Elisaie
Ελισαιε

And Elisha
said
unto her, What shall I do
for thee? tell
me, what hast
thou in the house?
And she said,
Thine handmaid
hath not any thing in the house,
save a pot
of oil.

Elisaie

Then he said,
Go,
borrow
thee vessels
abroad
of all thy neighbours,
even empty
vessels;
borrow not a few.
And when thou art come in,
thou shalt shut
the door
upon thee and upon thy sons,
and shalt pour out
into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside
that which is full.
So she went
from him, and shut
the door
upon her and upon
her sons,
who
brought
the vessels to her; and she poured out.
And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full,
that she said
unto her son,
Bring
me yet a vessel.
And he said
unto her, There is not a vessel
more. And the oil
stayed.
Then she came
and told
the man
of God.
And he said,
Go,
sell
the oil,
and pay
thy debt,
and live
thou and thy children
of the rest.

And it fell on a day,
that Elisha
passed
to Shunem,
where was a great
woman;
and she constrained
him to eat
bread.
And so it was, that as oft
as he passed by,
he turned
in thither to eat
bread.

And she said
unto her husband,
Behold now, I perceive
that this is an holy
man
of God,
which passeth
by us continually.
Let us make
a little
chamber,
I pray thee, on the wall;
and let us set
for him there a bed,
and a table,
and a stool,
and a candlestick:
and it shall be, when he cometh
to us, that he shall turn
in thither.

And it fell on a day,
that he came
thither, and he turned
into the chamber,
and lay
there.
And he said
to Gehazi
his servant,
Call
this Shunammite.
And when he had called
her, she stood
before
him.
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.

And he said,
What then is to be done
for her? And Gehazi
answered,
Verily
she hath no child,
and her husband
is old.
And he said,
Call
her. And when he had called
her, she stood
in the door.
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.

And the woman
conceived,
and bare
a son
at that season
that Elisha
had said
unto her, according to the time
of life.
And when the child
was grown,
it fell on a day,
that he went out
to his father
to the reapers.
And he said
unto his father,
My head,
my head.
And he said
to a lad,
Carry
him to his mother.
And when he had taken
him, and brought
him to his mother,
he sat
on her knees
till noon,
and then died.
And she went up,
and laid
him on the bed
of the man
of God,
and shut
the door upon him, and went out.
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.
say
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.
Then she saddled
an ass,
and said
to her servant,
Drive,
and go forward;
slack
not thy riding
for me, except I bid
thee.
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:

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.
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.

Then she said,
Did I desire
a son
of my lord?
did I not say,
Do not deceive
me?
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.

And the mother

said,
As the LORD

and as thy soul

I will not leave
thee. And he arose,
and followed
her.

Elisaie

And Gehazi
passed on
before
them, and laid
the staff
upon the face
of the child;
but there was neither voice,
nor hearing.
Wherefore he went again
to meet
him, and told
him, saying,
The child
is not awaked.

And when Elisha
was come
into the house,
behold, the child
was dead,
and laid
upon his bed.
He went in
therefore, and shut
the door
upon them twain,
and prayed
unto the LORD.
And he went up,
and lay
upon the child,
and put
his mouth
upon his mouth,
and his eyes
upon his eyes,
and his hands
upon his hands:
and he stretched
himself upon the child; and the flesh

Then he returned,

and went up,
and stretched
himself upon him: and the child
sneezed
seven
times,
and the child
opened
his eyes.
And he called
Gehazi,
and said,
Call
this Shunammite.
So he called
her. And when she was come in
unto him, he said,
Take up
thy son.

Then she went in,
and fell
at his feet,
and bowed
herself to the ground,
and took up
her son,
and went out.
And Elisha
came again
to Gilgal:
and there was a dearth
in the land;
and the sons
of the prophets
were sitting
before
him: and he said
unto his servant,
Set

pot,
and seethe

of the prophets.

And they could
