King James Version
And
a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets hath
cried
unto Elisha, saying, `
Thy servant ,
my husband ,
is dead ,
and thou hast
known
that thy servant was
fearing
Jehovah,
and the lender
hath
come to take my two children
to him
for
servants
. '
Now
there
cried
a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead ;
and thou knowest
that thy servant did
fear
the
LORD:
and the creditor
is
come to take unto
him
my two sons
to be
bondmen
.
And Elisha saith
unto her, `
What do
I do for thee? declare
to
me, what hast thou in the house? '
and she saith
, `Thy
maid-servant
hath nothing
in the house except
a pot of oil. '
And Elisha said
unto her, What shall
I do for thee? tell
me, what hast thou in the house? And she said
, Thine
handmaid
hath not
any
thing
in the house ,
save
a pot of oil.
And
he saith
, `
Go, ask
for
thee vessels from
without,
from
all thy neighbours
--
empty vessels --
let
`them'
not be
few ;
Then
he said
, Go, borrow
thee vessels abroad
of
all thy neighbors,
even
empty vessels ;
borrow
not a
few .
and thou hast
entered
, and
shut the door upon thee ,
and upon thy sons, and hast
poured
out into all these
vessels, and the
full
ones
thou dost
remove
. '
And when
thou art
come
in
, thou
shalt
shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt
pour
out into all those
vessels, and thou shalt
set
aside
that
which
is
full
.
And
she goeth
from him, and shutteth
the door upon her ,
and upon her sons ;
they
are
bringing
nigh
unto
her
, and she is
pouring
out ,
So
she went
from him, and shut
the door upon her and upon her sons, who
brought
the
vessels
to
her;
and she poured
out .
and it cometh
to pass, at
the
filling
of
the vessels, that she saith
unto her son, `
Bring nigh
unto
me a vessel more,'
and he saith
unto her, `
There is not a vessel more ;'
and the oil stayeth
.
And it came
to pass, when
the vessels were
full
, that she said
unto her son, Bring me yet
a vessel .
And he said
unto her, There is not a vessel more .
And the oil stayed
.
And
she cometh
and declareth
to
the man of God ,
and he saith
, `
Go, sell the oil, and repay
thy loan;
and thou `
and '
thy sons
do
live
of the rest. '
Then
she came
and told
the man of God .
And he said
, Go, sell the oil, and pay
thy debt,
and live
thou and thy children
of the rest.
And the
day cometh
that Elisha passeth
over
unto
Shunem, and
there
`is'
a great woman ,
and she layeth
hold
on
him to eat bread ,
and it cometh
to
pass
, at
the
time
of
his
passing
over
, he turneth
aside
thither to eat bread ,
And it
fell
on
a
day ,
that Elisha passed
to
Shunem, where
was
a great woman ;
and she constrained
him to eat bread .
And so
it was
, that
as
oft
as
he
passed
by
, he turned
in
thither to eat bread .
and she saith
unto her husband, `Lo,
I
pray
thee
, I have
known
that a
holy man of God he
is
, passing
over
by us continually ;
And she said
unto her husband, Behold
now
, I perceive
that this
is
an
holy man of God, which
passeth
by us continually .
let us make, I pray thee, a
little
upper
chamber
of
the wall ,
and we
set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high
seat
, and a candlestick ;
and it hath
been
, in
his
coming
in
unto
us, he doth
turn aside
thither. '
Let us make a
little
chamber
, I pray thee, on
the wall ;
and let
us
set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool
, and a candlestick :
and it shall
be
, when
he
cometh
to
us, that
he shall
turn in
thither.
And the
day cometh
, that he cometh
in
thither, and turneth
aside
unto
the upper
chamber, and lieth
there ,
And it
fell
on
a
day, that he came
thither, and he
turned
into
the chamber, and lay
there .
and he saith
unto
Gehazi his young
man
, `
Call for
this Shunammite ;'
and he calleth
for
her, and
she standeth
before him.
And he said
to
Gehazi his servant
, Call this Shunammite .
And when
he had
called
her, she stood
before him.
And he saith
to
him, `
Say ,
I
pray
thee,
unto her, Lo
, thou hast troubled
thyself
concerning
us with all this trouble
; what --
to do
for thee? is
it
to
speak
for thee
unto
the king, or unto
the head
of the host? '
and she saith
, `In
the
midst
of
my
people
I am
dwelling
. '
And he said
unto
him, Say now
unto her, Behold
, thou hast been
careful
for
us with all this care
; what is
to be
done
for thee? wouldest
thou
be
spoken
for to
the king, or to
the captain
of the host? And she answered
, I dwell
among
mine
own
people
.
And he saith
, `And
what --
to do
for her? '
and Gehazi saith
, `
Verily she hath no son
, and her husband `
is '
aged
. '
And he said
, What then
is
to be
done
for her? And Gehazi answered
, Verily she hath no child
, and her husband is old
.
And he saith
, `
Call for
her ;'
and he calleth
for
her, and
she standeth
at
the opening,
And he said
, Call her .
And when
he had
called
her, she stood
in
the door.
and he saith
, `At
this season, according to the time of life, thou art
embracing
a son ;'
and she saith
, `
Nay, my lord, O
man of God, do not lie unto thy
maid-servant
. '
And he said
, About
this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt
embrace
a son .
And she said
, Nay, my lord, thou
man of God, do not lie unto thine
handmaid
.
And the woman conceiveth
and beareth
a son ,
at this
season, according to the time of life ,
that
Elisha
spake
of
unto
her
.
And the woman conceived,
and bare
a son at that
season that
Elisha
had
said
unto
her
, according to the time of life.
And the lad
groweth
, and
the
day cometh
that he goeth
out unto
his father ,
unto
the reapers ,
And when
the child
was
grown
, it
fell
on
a
day ,
that he went
out to
his father to
the reapers .
and he saith
unto his father, `
My head, my head ;'
and he saith
unto
the
young
man
, `Bear
him unto
his mother ;'
And he said
unto his father, My head, my head .
And he said
to
a
lad
, Carry
him to
his mother .
and he beareth
him, and bringeth
him in
unto
his mother, and
he sitteth
on her knees till the
noon, and dieth
.
And when
he had
taken
him, and brought
him to
his mother, he sat
on her knees till noon, and then
died
.
And she goeth
up, and layeth
him on the bed of the man of God, and shutteth
`
the door '
upon him, and goeth
out ,
And she went
up, and laid
him on the bed of the man of God, and shut
the door upon him, and went
out .
and calleth
unto her husband, and saith
, `
Send, I pray thee, to
me,
one of the young men, and one of the asses, and
I run unto
the man of God, and return
. '
And she
called
unto her husband, and said
, Send me
, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that
I may
run to
the man of God, and come
again
.
And he saith
, `
Wherefore art
thou going
unto
him to -
day? --
neither new moon nor sabbath !'
and she saith
, `Peace
`to
thee'!'
And he said
, Wherefore wilt
thou go
to
him to day? it
is
neither new moon ,
nor sabbath .
And she said
, It
shall
be
well.
And
she saddleth
the
ass, and saith
unto
her young
man
, `Lead
, and go ,
do
not restrain
riding for me, except I have
said
`so'
to
thee. '
Then
she saddled
an
ass, and said
to
her servant
, Drive
, and go forward;
slack
not thy
riding for me, except I bid
thee.
And
she goeth,
and cometh
in
unto the man of God ,
unto
the
hill
of
Carmel ,
and it cometh
to pass, at
the man of God's
seeing
her from
over-against
, that he saith
unto
Gehazi his young
man
, `Lo
, this
Shunammite ;
So
she went
and came
unto the man of God to
mount
Carmel .
And it came
to pass, when
the man of God
saw
her afar
off
, that he said
to
Gehazi his servant
, Behold
, yonder
is
that
Shunammite :
now,
run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to
her, Is there
peace
to
thee? is there
peace
to
thy husband? is there
peace
to
the lad
? '
and she saith
, `Peace.'
Run now
, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto
her, Is it
well
with
thee? is it
well
with
thy husband? is it
well
with
the child
? And she answered
, It
is
well:
And she cometh
in
unto
the man of God ,
unto
the hill, and
layeth
hold
on
his
feet ,
and
Gehazi cometh
nigh
to thrust her away ,
and the man of God saith
, `
Let her alone ,
for her soul `
is '
bitter
to
her ,
and Jehovah
hath hidden
`
it '
from me, and hath not declared
`it'
to
me. '
And when
she came
to
the man of God to
the hill, she
caught
him
by
the
feet :
but
Gehazi came
near
to thrust her away .
And the man of God said
, Let her alone ;
for her soul is vexed
within
her :
and the
LORD
hath hid
it from me, and hath not told
me.
And
she saith
, `
Did I ask
a son from
my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me? '
Then
she said
, Did I desire
a son of
my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
And
he saith
to Gehazi, `
Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy
hand, and go ;
when
thou dost
meet a
man, thou
dost
not
salute him; and when
a
man
doth
salute thee, thou
dost
not
answer him ;
and thou
hast
laid
my staff on
the face of the youth
. '
Then
he said
to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine
hand, and go thy
way:
if
thou meet any
man, salute him not
; and if
any
salute thee, answer him not
again:
and lay
my staff upon
the face of the child
.
And the mother of the youth
saith
, `Jehovah
liveth, and thy soul liveth --
if
I leave thee ;'
and he riseth
and goeth
after
her.
And the mother of the child
said
, As
the
LORD
liveth, and as
thy soul liveth ,
I will
not
leave thee .
And he arose,
and followed
her.
And Gehazi hath
passed on before them, and layeth
the staff on
the face of the youth,
and
there is
no
voice, and
there
is
no
attention,
and
he turneth
back
to meet him, and declareth
to
him, saying, `
The youth
hath
not awaked. '
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid
the staff upon
the face of the child;
but
there was
neither
voice, nor
hearing.
Wherefore
he went
again
to meet him, and told
him, saying, The child
is
not awaked.
And Elisha cometh
in
to
the house, and
lo
, the youth
is
dead, laid on
his bed ,
And when
Elisha was
come
into
the house, behold
, the child
was
dead, and
laid upon
his bed .
and
he goeth
in and shutteth
the door upon them both
, and prayeth
unto Jehovah
.
He went
in therefore,
and shut
the door upon them twain
, and prayed
unto the
LORD
.
And he goeth
up, and lieth
down
on
the lad
, and putteth
his mouth on
his mouth, and his eyes on
his eyes, and his hands on
his hands ,
and stretcheth
himself upon him,
and the flesh of the lad
becometh
warm ;
And he went
up, and lay
upon
the child
, and put
his mouth upon
his mouth, and his eyes upon
his eyes, and his hands upon
his hands :
and stretched
himself upon the
child;
and the flesh of the child
waxed
warm .
and
he turneth
back
and walketh
in the house ,
once
hither
and once
thither,
and goeth
up and stretcheth
himself upon him ,
and the youth
sneezeth
till
seven times, and the youth
openeth
his eyes.
Then
he returned,
and walked
in the house to
and fro;
and went
up ,
and stretched
himself upon him :
and the child
sneezed
seven times, and the child
opened
his eyes.
And he calleth
unto
Gehazi, and saith
, `
Call unto
this Shunammite ;'
and
he calleth
her ,
and she cometh
in unto him, and
he saith
, `Lift
up thy son. '
And he called
Gehazi, and said
, Call this Shunammite .
So
he called
her .
And when
she was
come
in unto him, he said
, Take
up thy son.
And
she goeth
in, and falleth
at his feet, and boweth
herself to the earth
, and lifteth
up her son, and goeth
out.
Then
she went
in, and fell
at his feet, and bowed
herself to the ground
, and took
up her son, and went
out.
And Elisha hath
turned
back
to Gilgal ,
and the
famine
`is'
in the land ,
and the sons of the prophets are
sitting before him ,
and he saith
to
his young
man
, `
Set on the great pot, and boil
pottage for the sons of the prophets. '
And Elisha came
again
to Gilgal :
and there
was
a
dearth
in the land ;
and the sons of the prophets were
sitting before him :
and he said
unto
his servant
, Set on the great pot, and seethe
pottage for the sons of the prophets.
And one goeth
out unto
the field to gather herbs, and findeth
a vine of
the
field
, and gathereth
of
it
gourds of
the
field
--
the
fulness
of
his garment
--
and cometh
in
and splitteth
`
them '
into the pot of pottage ,
for they knew `
them '
not ;
And one went
out into
the field to gather herbs, and found
a wild
vine, and gathered
thereof
wild
gourds his lap
full,

and
they pour
out for the men to eat ,
and it cometh
to pass at
their
eating of the pottage, that they have
cried out, and say,
`Death
`is'
in
the
pot
, O man of God !'
and they have
not been
able
to
eat.
So
they poured
out for the men to eat .
And it came
to pass ,
as
they
were
eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said
, O thou
man of God ,
there
is
death
in
the
pot.
And they could
not eat thereof
.
And
he saith
, `
Then bring ye
meal ;'
and he casteth
into the pot ,
and saith
, `
Pour out for the people, and
they eat ;'
and there was no evil
thing
in the pot.
But
he said
, Then bring meal .
And he cast
it
into the pot ;
and he
said
, Pour out for the people, that
they may
eat .
And there was no harm
in the pot.
And a man hath
come

, and bringeth

, `
Give to
the people, and
they eat. '

, and brought
the man of God bread of the
firstfruits

the people, that
they may

And his minister
saith
, `
What --
do
I give
this before a
hundred men? '
and
he saith
, `
Give to
the people, and
they eat ,
for thus said
Jehovah
, Eat and leave ;'
And his servitor
said
, What ,
should
I set
this before an
hundred men? He said
again
, Give the people, that
they may
eat :
for thus saith
the
LORD
, They
shall
eat ,
and shall
leave thereof.

before them, and they eat and leave
, according to the word of Jehovah
.
So

and left
thereof
, according to the word of the
LORD
