17. And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.
18. And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,
19. He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.
20. And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.
21. And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
22. She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23. And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
24. And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.
25. So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.
26. Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.
27. And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28. And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?
29. Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30. But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
