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).
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).
19. And he said unto Aviv, My rosh, my rosh. And he said to the na'ar, Carry him to immo.
20. And when he had lifted him, and brought him to immo, he sat on her birkayim (knees) till tzohorayim, and then died.
21. And she went up, and laid him on the mittat Ish HaElohim, and shut [the door] behind her and went out.
