New Testament

2 Kings 4:14-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. He said, “What may be done for her?”And Gehazi said, “Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old.”

15. He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the entrance.

16. He said, “At this season, when it is time, you will embrace a son.”And she said, “No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

17. But the woman conceived and bore a son at that season, at the time that Elisha had told her.

18. When the child was older, he went out one day to his father with the reapers.

19. He said to his father, “My head, my head!”And he said to a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20. When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, the boy sat on her knees until noon, and died.
