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.
21. She went up, and laid him down on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him, and went out.
22. Then she called to her husband, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return.”
23. He said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither New Moon nor Sabbath.”She said, “It will be all right.”
