Chapter 4
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.
2
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.
3
Then
he
said,
Go,
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad
of
all
thy
neighbours,
even
empty
vessels;
borrow
not
a
few.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
And
she
said
unto
her
husband,
Behold
now,
I
perceive
that
this
is
an
holy
man
of
God,
which
passeth
by
us
continually.
10
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.
11
And
it
fell
on
a
day,
that
he
came
thither,
and
he
turned
into
the
chamber,
and
lay
there.
12
And
he
said
to
Gehazi
his
servant,
Call
this
Shunammite.
And
when
he
had
called
her,
she
stood
before
him.
13
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.
14
And
he
said,
What
then
is
to
be
done
for
her?
And
Gehazi
answered,
Verily
she
hath
no
child,
and
her
husband
is
old.
15
And
he
said,
Call
her.
And
when
he
had
called
her,
she
stood
in
the
door.
16
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.
17
And
the
woman
conceived,
and
bare
a
son
at
that
season
that
Elisha
had
said
unto
her,
according
to
the
time
of
life.
18
And
when
the
child
was
grown,
it
fell
on
a
day,
that
he
went
out
to
his
father
to
the
reapers.
19
And
he
said
unto
his
father,
My
head,
my
head.
And
he
said
to
a
lad,
Carry
him
to
his
mother.
20
And
when
he
had
taken
him,
and
brought
him
to
his
mother,
he
sat
on
her
knees
till
noon,
and
then
died.
21
And
she
went
up,
and
laid
him
on
the
bed
of
the
man
of
God,
and
shut
the
door
upon
him,
and
went
out.
22
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.
23
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.
24
Then
she
saddled
an
ass,
and
said
to
her
servant,
Drive,
and
go
forward;
slack
not
thy
riding
for
me,
except
I
bid
thee.
25
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:
26
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.
27
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.
28
Then
she
said,
Did
I
desire
a
son
of
my
lord?
did
I
not
say,
Do
not
deceive
me?
29
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.
30
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.
31
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.
32
And
when
Elisha
was
come
into
the
house,
behold,
the
child
was
dead,
and
laid
upon
his
bed.
33
He
went
in
therefore,
and
shut
the
door
upon
them
twain,
and
prayed
unto
the
Lord.
34
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
he
stretched
himself
upon
the
child;
and
the
flesh
of
the
child
waxed
warm.
35
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.
36
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.
37
Then
she
went
in,
and
fell
at
his
feet,
and
bowed
herself
to
the
ground,
and
took
up
her
son,
and
went
out.
38
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.
39
And
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.
40
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.
41
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.
42
And
there
came
a
man
from
Baal-shalisha,
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.
43
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.
44
So
he
set
it
before
them,
and
they
did
eat,
and
left
thereof,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord.
