11. One day he came and turned into the chamber and lay there.
12. And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. When he had called her, she stood before him.
13. And he said to Gehazi, Say now to her, You have been most painstakingly and reverently concerned for us; what is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king or to the commander of the army? She answered, I dwell among my own people [they are sufficient].
14. Later Elisha said, What then is to be done for her? Gehazi answered, She has no child and her husband is old.
15. He said, Call her. [Gehazi] called her, and she stood in the doorway.
16. Elisha 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. But the woman conceived and bore a son at that season the following year, as Elisha had said to her.
18. When the child had grown, he went out one day to his father with the reapers.
19. But he said to his father, My head, my head! The man said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.
20. And when he was brought to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21. And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him and went out.
22. And she called to her husband and said, Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.
