Chapter 4
Now
there
cryed
a
certaine
woman
of
the
wiues
of
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets
vnto
Elisha,
saying,
Thy
seruant
my
husband
is
dead,
and
thou
knowest
that
thy
seruant
did
feare
the
Lord:
and
the
creditour
is
come
to
take
vnto
him
my
two
sonnes
to
be
bondmen.
2
And
Elisha
said
vnto
her,
What
shall
I
doe
for
thee?
Tell
mee,
what
hast
thou
in
the
house?
And
shee
sayd,
Thine
handmaid
hath
not
any
thing
in
the
house,
saue
a
pot
of
oyle.
3
Then
hee
said,
Goe,
borrow
thee
vessels
abroad,
of
all
thy
neighbours;
euen
emptie
vessels,
borrow
not
a
few.
4
And
when
thou
art
come
in,
thou
shalt
shut
the
doore
vpon
thee,
and
vpon
thy
sonnes,
and
shalt
powre
out
into
all
those
vessels,
and
thou
shalt
set
aside
that
which
is
full.
5
So
shee
went
from
him,
and
shut
the
doore
vpon
her,
&
vpon
her
sonnes:
who
brought
the
vessels
to
her,
and
shee
powred
out.
6
And
it
came
to
passe,
when
the
vessels
were
full,
that
shee
said
vnto
her
sonne,
Bring
me
yet
a
vessell.
And
hee
said
vnto
her,
There
is
not
a
vessel
more.
And
the
oyle
stayed.
7
Then
she
came,
and
told
the
man
of
God:
and
he
said,
Goe,
sell
the
oyle,
and
pay
thy
debt,
and
liue
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
shee
constrained
him
to
eate
bread:
And
so
it
was,
that
as
oft
as
he
passed
by,
hee
turned
in
thither
to
eate
bread.
9
And
shee
said
vnto
her
husband,
Behold
now,
I
perceiue
that
this
is
an
holy
man
of
God,
which
passeth
by
vs
continually.
10
Let
vs
make
a
litle
chamber,
I
pray
thee,
on
the
wall,
and
let
vs
set
for
him
there
a
bed,
and
a
table,
and
a
stoole,
and
a
candlesticke:
and
it
shall
be
when
he
commeth
to
vs,
that
hee
shall
turne
in
thither.
11
And
it
fell
on
a
day
that
hee
came
thither,
and
hee
turned
into
the
chamber,
and
lay
there.
12
And
he
said
to
Gehazi
his
seruant,
Call
this
Shunammite.
And
when
hee
had
called
her,
she
stood
before
him.
13
And
he
said
vnto
him,
Say,
now
vnto
her,
Behold,
thou
hast
beene
carefull
for
vs
with
all
this
care;
What
is
to
be
done
for
thee?
Wouldest
thou
be
spoken
for
to
the
king,
or
to
the
captaine
of
the
hoste?
And
she
answered,
I
dwell
among
mine
owne
people.
14
And
he
said,
What
then
is
to
bee
done
for
her?
And
Gehazi
answered,
Uerily
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
doore.
16
And
he
said,
About
this
season,
according
to
the
time
of
life,
thou
shalt
imbrace
a
sonne.
And
she
said,
Nay
my
lord,
thou
man
of
God,
doe
not
lie
vnto
thine
handmaid.
17
And
the
woman
conceiued,
and
bare
a
sonne
at
that
season,
that
Elisha
had
said
vnto
her,
according
to
the
time
of
life.
18
And
when
the
child
was
growen,
it
fell
on
a
day
that
hee
went
out
to
his
father,
to
the
reapers.
19
And
he
said
vnto
his
father,
My
head,
my
head:
and
he
said
to
a
ladde,
Carie
him
to
his
mother.
20
And
when
he
had
taken
him,
and
brought
him
to
his
mother,
hee
sate
on
her
knees
till
noone,
and
then
died.
21
And
she
went
vp,
and
laid
him
on
the
bed
of
the
man
of
God,
and
shut
the
doore
vpon
him,
and
went
out.
22
And
she
called
vnto
her
husband,
and
said,
Send
me,
I
pray
thee,
one
of
the
yong
men,
and
one
of
the
asses,
that
I
may
runne
to
the
man
of
God,
and
come
againe.
23
And
he
said,
Wherefore
wilt
thou
goe
to
him
to
day?
it
is
neither
newe
moone
nor
Sabbath.
And
shee
said,
It
shalbe
well.
24
Then
she
sadled
an
asse,
and
said
to
her
seruant,
Driue,
and
goe
forward:
slacke
not
thy
riding
for
mee,
except
I
bid
thee.
25
So
she
went,
and
came
vnto
the
man
of
God
to
mount
Carmel:
and
it
came
to
passe
when
the
man
of
God
saw
her
afarre
off,
that
hee
said
to
Gehazi
his
seruant,
Behold,
yonder
is
that
Shunammite:
26
Runne
now,
I
pray
thee,
to
meet
her,
and
say
vnto
her,
Is
it
wel
with
thee?
is
it
wel
with
thy
husband?
is
it
wel
with
the
child?
And
she
answered,
It
is
well.
27
And
when
shee
came
to
the
man
of
God
to
the
hill,
shee
caught
him
by
the
feet:
but
Gehazi
came
neere
to
thrust
her
away.
And
the
man
of
God
saide,
Let
her
alone,
for
her
soule
is
vexed
within
her:
and
the
Lord
hath
hid
it
from
me,
and
hath
not
told
me.
28
Then
shee
said,
Did
I
desire
a
sonne
of
my
Lord?
did
I
not
say,
Doe
not
deceiue
me?
29
Then
he
said
to
Gehazi,
Gird
vp
thy
loines,
and
take
my
staffe
in
thine
hand,
and
goe
thy
way:
if
thou
meete
any
man,
salute
him
not:
and
if
any
salute
thee,
answere
him
not
againe:
and
lay
my
staffe
vpon
the
face
of
the
childe.
30
And
the
mother
of
the
childe
said,
As
the
Lord
liueth,
and
as
thy
soule
liueth,
I
will
not
leaue
thee.
And
he
arose,
and
followed
her.
31
And
Gehazi
passed
on
before
them,
and
laid
the
staffe
vpon
the
face
of
the
child,
but
there
was
neither
voyce,
nor
hearing:
wherefore
he
went
againe
to
meete
him,
and
tolde
him,
saying,
The
child
is
not
awaked.
32
And
when
Elisha
was
come
into
the
house,
behold,
the
child
was
dead,
and
laid
vpon
his
bed.
33
He
went
in
therefore,
and
shut
the
doore
vpon
them
twaine,
and
prayed
vnto
the
Lord.
34
And
he
went
vp,
and
lay
vpon
the
child,
and
put
his
mouth
vpon
his
mouth,
and
his
eyes
vpon
his
eyes,
and
his
hands
vpon
his
hands,
and
he
stretched
himselfe
vpon
the
child,
and
the
flesh
of
the
child
waxed
warme.
35
Then
he
returned,
and
walked
in
the
house
to
and
fro,
and
went
vp,
and
stretched
himselfe
vpon
him:
and
the
child
neesed
seuen
times,
and
the
child
opened
his
eyes.
36
And
hee
called
Gehazi,
and
said,
Call
this
Shunammite.
So
hee
called
her:
and
when
shee
was
come
in
vnto
him,
he
said,
Take
vp
thy
sonne.
37
Then
she
went
in,
and
fell
at
his
feet,
and
bowed
her
selfe
to
the
ground,
and
tooke
vp
her
sonne,
and
went
out.
38
And
Elisha
came
againe
to
Gilgal,
and
there
was
a
dearth
in
the
land,
and
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets
were
sitting
before
him:
and
hee
said
vnto
his
seruant,
Set
on
the
great
pot,
and
seethe
pottage
for
the
sonnes
of
the
Prophets.
39
And
one
went
out
into
the
field
to
gather
herbes,
and
found
a
wild
vine,
and
gathered
thereof
wilde
gourds
his
lap
full,
and
came
and
shred
them
into
the
pot
of
pottage:
for
they
knew
them
not.
40
So
they
powred
out
for
the
men
to
eat:
and
it
came
to
passe
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
eate
thereof.
41
But
he
said,
Then
bring
meale.
And
he
cast
it
into
the
pot:
And
he
said,
Powre
out
for
the
people,
that
they
may
eat.
And
there
was
no
harme
in
the
pot.
42
And
there
came
a
man
from
Baal-Shalisha,
and
brought
the
man
of
God
bread
of
the
first
fruits,
twentie
loaues
of
barley,
and
full
eares
of
corne
in
the
huske
thereof:
and
he
said,
Giue
vnto
the
people,
that
they
may
eate.
43
And
his
seruitour
saide,
What
should
I
set
this
before
an
hundred
men?
He
said
againe,
Giue
the
people,
that
they
may
eate:
for
thus
saith
the
Lord,
They
shall
eate,
and
shall
leaue
thereof.
44
So
he
set
it
before
them,
and
they
did
eate,
and
left
thereof,
according
to
the
word
of
the
Lord.
