4 Kings 4:21-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.
