2Kings
4:1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the
prophets unto Elisha, saying, Your
servant my husband is dead and you know that your servant did fear
the Lord. And the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to
be bondmen.
2Kings
4:2-7 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for you? 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. Then he said, Go, borrow vessels
from your neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few. And when you
are come in, you shall shut the door upon you and upon your sons and shall
pour out into all those vessels and you shall set aside that which is full.
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. And it came to pass, when the vessels
were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me another vessel. And he
said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed. Then she
came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil and pay thy
debt and live you and your children of the rest.
2Kings
4:8-13 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. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive
that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. 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. And it fell on a day,
that he came thither and he turned into the chamber and lay there. And
he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite woman. And when he
had called her, she stood before him. 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?.(are
you wanting to be/work in the king's palace?).And
she answered, I dwell among mine own people.(I
prefer to stay with the people I already know).
2Kings
4:14-17 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered,
Verily she hath no child and her husband is old. And he said, Call her.
And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 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. And
the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said
unto her, according to the time of life.
2Kings
4:18.And when the
child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the
reapers.(harvest
time).
2Kings
4:19,20 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said
to a lad, Carry him to his mother. And when he had taken him and brought
him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon and then died.
2Kings
4:21-31 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God.(Elisha
stayed for some time with them, but he wasn't there now; she just laid
her dead son on the bed Elisha slept in when he was there).and
shut the door upon him and went out. 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.(go
get him to come).and come again.
And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day?.(you
don't know where he could be).It
is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well. Then
she saddled an ass and said to her servant, Drive and go forward, slack
not thy riding for me, except I bid thee. 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. 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. 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. Then she said, Did I
desire a son of my lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me? Then he said
to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins.(let's
get going).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. 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.
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.
2Kings
4:32-35 And when Elisha was come
into the house, behold, the child was dead and laid upon his bed. He went
in therefore and shut the door upon them twain and prayed unto the Lord.
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. 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.
2Kings
4:36,37 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 your son.
Then she went in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground and
took up her son and went out.
2Kings
4:38 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.
2Kings
4:39-41 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. 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 you man of God, there is death in the pot.(must
have tasted awful). And they could not eat thereof. But he
said, Then bring meal.(flour).
And he cast it into the pot and he said, Pour out for the people, that
they may eat. And there was then no harm in the pot.
2Kings
4:42-44 And 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. 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. So he set it before them
and they did eat and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.
