4. Then go in, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour the oil into all these vessels. When each is full, set it aside.”
5. So she left him and shut the door behind her and her sons, and they kept bringing vessels to her, and she kept pouring.
6. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another vessel.”But he said to her, “There is not another vessel.” And the oil ceased.
7. Then she went and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and you and your children can live on the rest.”
8. One day Elisha passed through Shunem, and a noble woman was there who urged him to eat a meal. So whenever he passed through, he stopped there to eat a meal.
9. And she said to her husband, “I know that he is a holy man of God regularly passing through near us.
10. Let us make a little walled upper room and put for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so when he comes to us he can stay there.”
11. One day he came by there, and he turned aside to the upper room and lay down.
12. He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she stood before him.
13. He said to him, “Say to her, Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What may be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king, or to the captain of the army?”And she answered, “I am living among my people.”
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.
21. She went up, and laid him down on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him, and went out.
