2 Reyes 4

1Now there cried^H6817 a certain^H259 woman^H802 of the wives^H802 of the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 unto Elisha^H477, saying^H559, Thy servant^H5650 my husband^H376 is dead^H4191; and thou knowest^H3045 that thy servant^H5650 did fear^H3373 Jehovah^H3068: and the creditor^H5383 is come^H935 to take^H3947 unto him my two^H8147 children^H3206 to be bondmen^H5650. 2And Elisha^H477 said^H559 unto her, What shall I do^H6213 for thee? tell^H5046 me; what hast^H3426 thou in the house^H1004? And she said^H559, Thy handmaid^H8198 hath not anything in the house^H1004, save a pot^H610 of oil^H8081. 3Then he said^H559, Go^H3212, borrow^H7592 thee vessels^H3627 abroad^H2351 of all thy neighbors^H7934, even empty^H7386 vessels^H3627; borrow not a few^H4591. 4And thou shalt go in^H935, and shut^H5462 the door^H1817 upon thee and upon thy sons^H1121, and pour out^H3332 into all those vessels^H3627; and thou shalt set aside^H5265 that which is full^H4392. 5So she went^H3212 from him, and shut^H5462 the door^H1817 upon her and upon^H1157 her sons^H1121; they^H1992 brought^H5066 the vessels to her, and she poured out^H3332. 6And it came to pass, when the vessels^H3627 were full^H4390, that she said^H559 unto her son^H1121, Bring^H5066 me yet a vessel^H3627. And he said^H559 unto her, There is not a vessel^H3627 more. And the oil^H8081 stayed^H5975. 7Then she came^H935 and told^H5046 the man^H376 of God^H430. And he said^H559, Go^H3212, sell^H4376 the oil^H8081, and pay^H7999 thy debt^H5386, and live^H2421 thou and thy sons^H1121 of the rest^H3498. 8And it fell on a day^H3117, that Elisha^H477 passed^H5674 to Shunem^H7766, where was a great^H1419 woman^H802; and she constrained^H2388 him to eat^H398 bread^H3899. And so it was, that as oft^H1767 as he passed by^H5674, he turned^H5493 in thither to eat^H398 bread^H3899. 9And she said^H559 unto her husband^H376, Behold now, I perceive^H3045 that this is a holy^H6918 man^H376 of God^H430, that passeth^H5674 by us continually^H8548. 10Let us make^H6213, I pray thee, a little^H6996 chamber^H5944 on the wall^H7023; and let us set^H7760 for him there a bed^H4296, and a table^H7979, and a seat^H3678, and a candlestick^H4501: and it shall be, when he cometh^H935 to us, that he shall turn^H5493 in thither. 11And it fell on a day^H3117, that he came^H935 thither, and he turned^H5493 into the chamber^H5944 and lay^H7901 there. 12And he said^H559 to Gehazi^H1522 his servant^H5288, Call^H7121 this Shunammite^H7767. And when he had called^H7121 her, she stood^H5975 before^H6440 him. 13And he said^H559 unto him, Say^H559 now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful^H2729 for us with all this care^H2731; what is to be done^H6213 for thee? wouldest^H3426 thou be spoken^H1696 for to the king^H4428, or to the captain^H8269 of the host^H6635? And she answered^H559, I dwell^H3427 among^H8432 mine own people^H5971. 14And he said^H559, What then is to be done^H6213 for her? And Gehazi^H1522 answered^H559, Verily^H61 she hath no son^H1121, and her husband^H376 is old^H2204. 15And he said^H559, Call^H7121 her. And when he had called^H7121 her, she stood^H5975 in the door^H6607. 16And he said^H559, At this season^H4150, when the time^H6256 cometh round^H2416, thou shalt embrace^H2263 a son^H1121. And she said^H559, Nay, my lord^H113, thou man^H376 of God^H430, do not lie^H3576 unto thy handmaid^H8198. 17And the woman^H802 conceived^H2029, and bare^H3205 a son^H1121 at that season^H4150, when the time^H6256 came round^H2416, as Elisha^H477 had said^H1696 unto her. 18And when the child^H3206 was grown^H1431, it fell on a day^H3117, that he went out^H3318 to his father^H1 to the reapers^H7114. 19And he said^H559 unto his father^H1, My head^H7218, my head^H7218. And he said^H559 to his servant^H5288, Carry^H5375 him to his mother^H517. 20And when he had taken^H5375 him, and brought^H935 him to his mother^H517, he sat^H3427 on her knees^H1290 till noon^H6672, and then died^H4191. 21And she went up^H5927 and laid^H7901 him on the bed^H4296 of the man^H376 of God^H430, and shut^H5462 the door upon him, and went out^H3318. 22And she called^H7121 unto her husband^H376, and said^H559, Send^H7971 me, I pray thee, one^H259 of the servants^H5288, and one^H259 of the asses^H860, that I may run^H7323 to the man^H376 of God^H430, and come again^H7725. 23And he said^H559, Wherefore wilt thou go^H1980 to him to-day^H3117? it is neither new moon^H2320 nor sabbath^H7676. And she said^H559, It shall be well^H7965. 24Then she saddled^H2280 an ass^H860, and said^H559 to her servant^H5288, Drive^H5090, and go forward^H3212; slacken^H6113 me not the riding^H7392, except I bid^H559 thee. 25So she went^H3212, and came^H935 unto the man^H376 of God^H430 to mount^H2022 Carmel^H3760. And it came to pass, when the man^H376 of God^H430 saw her afar off^H7200, that he said^H559 to Gehazi^H1522 his servant^H5288, Behold, yonder is the^H1975 Shunammite^H7767: 26run^H7323, I pray thee, now to meet^H7125 her, and say^H559 unto her, Is it well^H7965 with thee? is it well^H7965 with thy husband^H376? is it well^H7965 with the child^H3206? And she answered^H559, It is well^H7965. 27And when she came^H935 to the man^H376 of God^H430 to the hill^H2022, she caught^H2388 hold of his feet^H7272. And Gehazi^H1522 came near^H5066 to thrust her away^H1920; but the man^H376 of God^H430 said^H559, Let her alone^H7503: for her soul^H5315 is vexed^H4843 within her; and Jehovah^H3068 hath hid^H5956 it from me, and hath not told^H5046 me. 28Then she said^H559, Did I desire^H7592 a son^H1121 of my lord^H113? did I not say^H559, Do not deceive^H7952 me? 29Then he said^H559 to Gehazi^H1522, Gird up^H2296 thy loins^H4975, and take^H3947 my staff^H4938 in thy hand^H3027, and go thy way^H3212: if thou meet^H4672 any man^H376, salute^H1288 him not; and if any^H376 salute^H1288 thee, answer him not again^H6030: and lay^H7760 my staff^H4938 upon the face^H6440 of the child^H5288. 30And the mother^H517 of the child^H5288 said^H559, As Jehovah^H3068 liveth^H2416, and as thy soul^H5315 liveth^H2416, I will not leave^H5800 thee. And he arose^H6965, and followed^H3212 her. 31And Gehazi^H1522 passed on^H5674 before^H6440 them, and laid^H7760 the staff^H4938 upon the face^H6440 of the child^H5288; but there was neither voice^H6963, nor hearing^H7182. Wherefore he returned^H7725 to meet^H7125 him, and told^H5046 him, saying^H559, The child^H5288 is not awaked^H6974. 32And when Elisha^H477 was come^H935 into the house^H1004, behold, the child^H5288 was dead^H4191, and laid^H7901 upon his bed^H4296. 33He went in^H935 therefore, and shut^H5462 the door^H1817 upon them twain^H8147, and prayed^H6419 unto Jehovah^H3068. 34And he went up^H5927, and lay^H7901 upon the child^H3206, and put^H7760 his mouth^H6310 upon his mouth^H6310, and his eyes^H5869 upon his eyes^H5869, and his hands^H3709 upon his hands^H3709: and he stretched^H1457 himself upon him; and the flesh^H1320 of the child^H3206 waxed warm^H2552. 35Then he returned^H7725, and walked^H3212 in the house^H1004 once to^H259 and fro^H259; and went up^H5927, and stretched^H1457 himself upon him: and the child^H5288 sneezed^H2237 seven^H7651 times^H6471, and the child^H5288 opened^H6491 his eyes^H5869. 36And he called^H7121 Gehazi^H1522, and said^H559, Call^H7121 this Shunammite^H7767. So he called^H7121 her. And when she was come in^H935 unto him, he said^H559, Take up^H5375 thy son^H1121. 37Then she went in^H935, and fell^H5307 at his feet^H7272, and bowed^H7812 herself to the ground^H776; and she took up^H5375 her son^H1121, and went out^H3318. 38And Elisha^H477 came again^H7725 to Gilgal^H1537. And there was a dearth^H7458 in the land^H776; and the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030 were sitting^H3427 before^H6440 him; and he said^H559 unto his servant^H5288, Set^H8239 on the great^H1419 pot^H5518, and boil^H1310 pottage^H5138 for the sons^H1121 of the prophets^H5030. 39And one^H259 went out^H3318 into the field^H7704 to gather^H3950 herbs^H219, and found^H4672 a wild^H7704 vine^H1612, and gathered^H3950 thereof wild^H7704 gourds^H6498 his lap^H899 full^H4393, and came^H935 and shred^H6398 them into the pot^H5518 of pottage^H5138; for they knew^H3045 them not. 40So they poured out^H3332 for the men^H582 to eat^H398. And it came to pass, as they were eating^H398 of the pottage^H5138, that they cried out^H6817, and said^H559, O man^H376 of God^H430, there is death^H4194 in the pot^H5518. And they could^H3201 not eat^H398 thereof. 41But he said^H559, Then bring^H3947 meal^H7058. And he cast^H7993 it into the pot^H5518; and he said^H559, Pour out^H3332 for the people^H5971, that they may eat^H398. And there was no harm^H1697 in the pot^H5518. 42And there came^H935 a man^H376 from Baal-shalishah^H1190, and brought^H935 the man^H376 of God^H430 bread^H3899 of the first-fruits^H1061, twenty^H6242 loaves^H3899 of barley^H8184, and fresh ears of grain^H3759 in his sack^H6861. And he said^H559, Give^H5414 unto the people^H5971, that they may eat^H398. 43And his servant^H8334 said^H559, What, should I set^H5414 this before^H6440 a hundred^H3967 men^H376? But he said^H559, Give^H5414 the people^H5971, that they may eat^H398; for thus saith^H559 Jehovah^H3068, They shall eat^H398, and shall leave^H3498 thereof. 44So he set^H5414 it before^H6440 them, and they did eat^H398, and left^H3498 thereof, according to the word^H1697 of Jehovah^H3068.
