Melachim Bais 4:6-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. And it came to pass, when the kelim were full, that she said unto her ben, Bring me another keli. And he said unto her, There is not any more keli. And the shemen stopped.

7. Then she came and told the Ish HaElohim. And he said, Go, sell the shemen, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy banim on the rest.

8. And then one day Elishah passed over to Shunem, where was an isha gedolah; and she constrained him to eat lechem. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in there to eat lechem.

9. And she said unto her ish, Hinei now, I perceive that this is an Ish Elohim Kadosh, which passeth by us tamid.

10. Please, let us make a small aliyyat kir (walled upper room); and let us set for him there a mittah (bed), and a shulchan (table), and a kisse (chair), and a menorah: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in there.

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).
