4Now 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.H6817H259H802H802H1121H5030H477H559H5650H376H4191H3045H5650H3373H3068H5383H935H3947H8147H3206H5650
2And 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.H477H559H6213H5046H3426H1004H559H8198H1004H610H8081
3Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.H559H3212H7592H3627H2351H7934H7386H3627H4591
4And 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.H935H5462H1817H1121H3332H3627H5265H4392
5So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.H3212H5462H1817H1157H1121H1992H5066H3332
6And 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.H3627H4390H559H1121H5066H3627H559H3627H8081H5975
7Then 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.H935H5046H376H430H559H3212H4376H8081H7999H5386H2421H1121H3498
8And 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.H3117H477H5674H7766H1419H802H2388H398H3899H1767H5674H5493H398H3899
9And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.H559H376H3045H6918H376H430H5674H8548
10Let 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.H6213H6996H5944H7023H7760H4296H7979H3678H4501H935H5493
11And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.H3117H935H5493H5944H7901
12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.H559H1522H5288H7121H7767H7121H5975H6440
13And 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.H559H559H2729H2731H6213H3426H1696H4428H8269H6635H559H3427H8432H5971
14And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.H559H6213H1522H559H61H1121H376H2204
15And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.H559H7121H7121H5975H6607
16And 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.H559H4150H6256H2416H2263H1121H559H113H376H430H3576H8198
17And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.H802H2029H3205H1121H4150H477H1696H6256H2416
18And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.H3206H1431H3117H3318H1H7114
19And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.H559H1H7218H7218H559H5288H5375H517
20And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.H5375H935H517H3427H1290H6672H4191
21And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.H5927H7901H4296H376H430H5462H3318
22And 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.H7121H376H559H7971H259H5288H259H860H7323H376H430H7725
23And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.H559H1980H3117H2320H7676H559H7965
24Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.H2280H860H559H5288H5090H3212H6113H7392H559
25So 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:H3212H935H376H430H2022H3760H376H430H7200H559H1522H5288H1975H7767
26Run 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:H7323H7125H559H7965H7965H376H7965H3206H559H7965
27And 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.H935H376H430H2022H2388H7272H1522H5066H1920H376H430H559H7503H5315H4843H3068H5956H5046
28Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?H559H7592H1121H113H559H7952
29Then 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.H559H1522H2296H4975H3947H4938H3027H3212H4672H376H1288H376H1288H6030H7760H4938H6440H5288
30And 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.H517H5288H559H3068H2416H5315H2416H5800H6965H3212H310
31And 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.H1522H5674H6440H7760H4938H6440H5288H6963H7182H7725H7125H5046H559H5288H6974
32And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.H477H935H1004H5288H4191H7901H4296
33He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.H935H5462H1817H8147H6419H3068
34And 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.H5927H7901H3206H7760H6310H6310H5869H5869H3709H3709H1457H1320H3206H2552
35Then 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.H7725H3212H1004H259H2008H259H2008H5927H1457H5288H2237H7651H6471H5288H6491H5869
36And 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.H7121H1522H559H7121H7767H7121H935H559H5375H1121
37Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.H935H5307H7272H7812H776H5375H1121H3318
38And 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.H477H7725H1537H7458H776H1121H5030H3427H6440H559H5288H8239H1419H5518H1310H5138H1121H5030
39And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.H259H3318H7704H3950H219H4672H7704H1612H3950H7704H6498H899H4393H935H6398H5518H5138H3045
40So 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.H3332H582H398H398H5138H6817H559H376H430H4194H5518H3201H398
41But 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.H559H3947H7058H7993H5518H559H3332H5971H398H1697H7451H5518
42And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.H935H376H1190H935H376H430H3899H1061H6242H3899H8184H3759H6861H559H5414H5971H398
43And 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.H8334H559H5414H6440H3967H376H559H5414H5971H398H559H3068H398H3498
44So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.H5414H6440H398H3498H1697H3068
