2 Kings - ch 4 v 1 - 20

  1. Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant did fear Yahweh: and the creditor is come to take to him my two children to be bondservants.
  2. Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? tell me; what have you in the house? She said, Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.
  3. Then he said, Go, borrow you vessels abroad of all your neighbors, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
  4. You shall go in, and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and you shall set aside that which is full.
  5. So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.
  6. It happened, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. He said to her, There isn't another vessel. The oil stayed.
  7. Then she came and told the man of God. He said, Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and live you and your sons of the rest.
  8. It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
  9. She said to her husband, See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.
  10. Let us make, Please, a little chamber on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lamp stand: and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.
  11. It fell on a day, that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.
  12. He said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. When he had called her, she stood before him.
  13. He said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for you? would you be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army? She answered, I dwell among my own people.
  14. He said, What then is to be done for her? Gehazi answered, Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.
  15. He said, Call her. When he had called her, she stood in the door.
  16. He said, At this season, when the time comes round, you shall embrace a son. She said, No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.
  17. The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said to her.
  18. When the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
  19. He said to his father, My head, my head. He said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.
  20. When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
