Melachim Bais 4:11-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. And then one day he came there, and he turned in the aliyyah (upper room), and lay there.

12. And he said to Geichazi his na'ar, Call this Shunamit. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13. And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Hinei, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? Wouldest thou be spoken for to HaMelech, or to the Sar HaTzava? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14. And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Geichazi answered, Verily she hath no ben, and her ish is zaken.

15. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the petach (doorway).

16. And he said, About this mo'ed, according to the et chayyah (Gen. 18:10), thou choveket ben (shalt embrace a son). And she said, No, adoni, thou Ish HaElohim, do not give false hope unto thine shifchah.

17. And the isha conceived, and bore ben at that mo'ed that Elishah had said unto her, according to the et chayyah.

18. The yeled grew, and it happened one day, that he went out to Aviv to the kotzerim (harvesters, reapers).
