2 Kings 4:1 Now there cried6817 a certain259 woman802 of the wives802 of the sons1121 of the prophets5030 unto Elisha,477 saying,559 Thy servant5650 my husband376 is dead;4191 and thou knowest3045 that thy servant5650 did fear3373 the LORD:3068 and the creditor5383 is come935 to take3947 unto him my two8147 sons3206 to be bondmen.56502 And Elisha477 said559 unto her, What shall I do6213 for thee? tell5046 me, what hast3426 thou in the house?1004 And she said,559 Thine handmaid8198 hath not any thing in the house,1004 save a pot610 of oil.80813 Then he said,559 Go,3212 borrow7592 thee vessels3627 abroad2351 of all thy neighbours,7934even empty7386 vessels;3627 borrow not{Or, scant not} a few.45914 And when thou art come in,935 thou shalt shut5462 the door1817 upon thee and upon thy sons,1121 and shalt pour out3332 into all those vessels,3627 and thou shalt set aside5265 that which is full.43925 So she went3212 from him, and shut5462 the door1817 upon her and upon1157 her sons,1121 who1992 brought5066thevessels to her; and she poured out.33326 And it came to pass, when the vessels3627 were full,4390 that she said559 unto her son,1121 Bring5066 me yet a vessel.3627 And he said559 unto her, Thereis not a vessel3627 more. And the oil8081 stayed.59757 Then she came935 and told5046 the man376 of God.430 And he said,559 Go,3212 sell4376 the oil,8081 and pay7999 thy debt,5386{Or, creditor} and live2421 thou and thy children1121 of the rest.3498
2 Kings 4:8 And it fell on a day,3117{Heb. there was a day} that Elisha477 passed5674 to Shunem,7766 where was a great1419 woman;802 and she constrained2388{Heb. laid hold on him} him to eat398 bread.3899 And so it was, that as oft1767 as he passed by,5674 he turned5493 in thither to eat398 bread.38999 And she said559 unto her husband,376 Behold now, I perceive3045 that this is an holy6918 man376 of God,430 which passeth5674 by us continually.854810 Let us make6213 a little6996 chamber,5944 I pray thee, on the wall;7023 and let us set7760 for him there a bed,4296 and a table,7979 and a stool,3678 and a candlestick:4501 and it shall be, when he cometh935 to us, that he shall turn5493 in thither.
11 And it fell on a day,3117 that he came935 thither, and he turned5493 into the chamber,5944 and lay7901 there.
12 And he said559 to Gehazi1522 his servant,5288 Call7121 this Shunammite.7767 And when he had called7121 her, she stood5975 before6440 him.
13 And he said559 unto him, Say559 now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful2729 for us with all this care;2731 what is to be done6213 for thee? wouldest3426 thou be spoken1696 for to the king,4428 or to the captain8269 of the host?6635 And she answered,559 I dwell3427 among8432 mine own people.597114 And he said,559 What then is to be done6213 for her? And Gehazi1522 answered,559 Verily61 she hath no child,1121 and her husband376 is old.220415 And he said,559 Call7121 her. And when he had called7121 her, she stood5975 in the door.660716 And he said,559 About this season,4150{Heb. set time} according to the time6256 of life,2416 thou shalt embrace2263 a son.1121 And she said,559 Nay, my lord,113thou man376 of God,430 do not lie3576 unto thine handmaid.819817 And the woman802 conceived,2029 and bare3205 a son1121 at that season4150 that Elisha477 had said1696 unto her, according to the time6256 of life.2416
2 Kings 4:18 And when the child3206 was grown,1431 it fell on a day,3117 that he went out3318 to his father1 to the reapers.711419 And he said559 unto his father,1 My head,7218 my head.7218 And he said559 to a lad,5288 Carry5375 him to his mother.51720 And when he had taken5375 him, and brought935 him to his mother,517 he sat3427 on her knees1290 till noon,6672 and then died.419121 And she went up,5927 and laid7901 him on the bed4296 of the man376 of God,430 and shut5462thedoor upon him, and went out.331822 And she called7121 unto her husband,376 and said,559 Send7971 me, I pray thee, one259 of the young men,5288 and one259 of the asses,860 that I may run7323 to the man376 of God,430 and come again.772523 And he said,559 Wherefore wilt thou go1980 to him to day?3117itis neither new moon,2320 nor sabbath.7676 And she said,559Itshallbe well.7965{Heb. peace}24 Then she saddled2280 an ass,860 and said559 to her servant,5288 Drive,5090 and go forward;3212 slack6113 not thy riding7392{Heb. restrain not for me to ride} for me, except I bid559 thee.
25 So she went3212 and came935 unto the man376 of God430 to mount2022 Carmel.3760 And it came to pass, when the man376 of God430 saw her afar off,7200 that he said559 to Gehazi1522 his servant,5288 Behold, yonderis that1975 Shunammite:776726 Run7323 now, I pray thee, to meet7125 her, and say559 unto her, Isit well7965 with thee? isit well7965 with thy husband?376isit well7965 with the child?3206 And she answered,559Itis well.796527 And when she came935 to the man376 of God430 to the hill,2022 she caught2388 him by the feet:7272{Heb. by his feet} but Gehazi1522 came near5066 to thrust her away.1920 And the man376 of God430 said,559 Let her alone;7503 for her soul5315is vexed4843{Heb. bitter} within her: and the LORD3068 hath hid5956it from me, and hath not told5046 me.
28 Then she said,559 Did I desire7592 a son1121 of my lord?113 did I not say,559 Do not deceive7952 me?
29 Then he said559 to Gehazi,1522 Gird up2296 thy loins,4975 and take3947 my staff4938 in thine hand,3027 and go thy way:3212 if thou meet4672 any man,376 salute1288 him not; and if any376 salute1288 thee, answer him not again:6030 and lay7760 my staff4938 upon the face6440 of the child.528830 And the mother517 of the child5288 said,559As the LORD3068 liveth,2416 and as thy soul5315 liveth,2416 I will not leave5800 thee. And he arose,6965 and followed3212310 her.
31 And Gehazi1522 passed on5674 before6440 them, and laid7760 the staff4938 upon the face6440 of the child;5288 but therewas neither voice,6963 nor hearing.7182{Heb. attention} Wherefore he went again7725 to meet7125 him, and told5046 him, saying,559 The child5288 is not awaked.697432 And when Elisha477 was come935 into the house,1004 behold, the child5288 was dead,4191and laid7901 upon his bed.429633 He went in935 therefore, and shut5462 the door1817 upon them twain,8147 and prayed6419 unto the LORD.306834 And he went up,5927 and lay7901 upon the child,3206 and put7760 his mouth6310 upon his mouth,6310 and his eyes5869 upon his eyes,5869 and his hands3709 upon his hands:3709 and he stretched1457 himself upon the child; and the flesh1320 of the child3206 waxed warm.255235 Then he returned,7725 and walked3212 in the house1004 to2592008 and fro;2592008{Heb. once hither, and once thither} and went up,5927 and stretched1457 himself upon him: and the child5288 sneezed2237 seven7651 times,6471 and the child5288 opened6491 his eyes.586936 And he called7121 Gehazi,1522 and said,559 Call7121 this Shunammite.7767 So he called7121 her. And when she was come in935 unto him, he said,559 Take up5375 thy son.112137 Then she went in,935 and fell5307 at his feet,7272 and bowed7812 herself to the ground,776 and took up5375 her son,1121 and went out.3318
2 Kings 4:38 And Elisha477 came again7725 to Gilgal:1537 and therewas a dearth7458 in the land;776 and the sons1121 of the prophets5030were sitting3427 before6440 him: and he said559 unto his servant,5288 Set8239 on the great1419 pot,5518 and seethe1310 pottage5138 for the sons1121 of the prophets.503039 And one259 went out3318 into the field7704 to gather3950 herbs,219 and found4672 a wild7704 vine,1612 and gathered3950 thereof wild7704 gourds6498 his lap899 full,4393 and came935 and shred6398them into the pot5518 of pottage:5138 for they knew3045them not.
40 So they poured out3332 for the men582 to eat.398 And it came to pass, as they were eating398 of the pottage,5138 that they cried out,6817 and said,559 O thou man376 of God,430thereis death4194 in the pot.5518 And they could3201 not eat398thereof.41 But he said,559 Then bring3947 meal.7058 And he cast7993it into the pot;5518 and he said,559 Pour out3332 for the people,5971 that they may eat.398 And there was no harm16977451{Heb. evil thing} in the pot.5518
2 Kings 4:42 And there came935 a man376 from Baalshalisha,1190 and brought935 the man376 of God430 bread3899 of the firstfruits,1061 twenty6242 loaves3899 of barley,8184 and full ears of corn3759 in the husk6861{Or, in his scrip, or garment} thereof. And he said,559 Give5414 unto the people,5971 that they may eat.39843 And his servitor8334 said,559 What, should I set5414 this before6440 an hundred3967 men?376 He said again,559 Give5414 the people,5971 that they may eat:398 for thus saith559 the LORD,3068 They shall eat,398 and shall leave3498thereof.44 So he set5414it before6440 them, and they did eat,398 and left3498thereof, according to the word1697 of the LORD.3068
