CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets has cried unto Elisha, saying, `Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you have known that your servant was fearing Yahweh, and the lender has come to take my two children to him for servants.. ² And Elisha said unto her, `What do I do for you? declare to me, what have you in the house?' and she said, `Your maid-servant has nothing in the house except a pot of oil.. ³ And he said, `Go, ask for you vessels from without, from all your neighbors--empty vessels--let [them] not be few;" ⁴ and you have entered, and shut the door upon you, and upon your sons, and have poured out into all these vessels, and the full ones you do remove.. ⁵ And she goes from him, and shuts the door upon her, and upon her sons; they are bringing nigh unto her, and she is pouring out, ⁶ and it comes to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she said unto her son, `Bring nigh unto me a vessel more,' and he said unto her, `There is not a vessel more;' and the oil stays. ⁷ And she comes and declares to the man of Elohim, and he said, `Go, sell the oil, and repay your loan; and you [and] your sons do live of the rest.. ⁸ And the day comes that Elisha passes over unto Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she lays hold on him to eat bread, and it comes to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turns aside thither to eat bread, ⁹ and she said unto her husband, `Lo, I pray you, I have known that a holy man of Elohim he is, passing over by us continually;" ¹⁰ let us make, I pray you, a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a candlestick; and it has been, in his coming in unto us, he does turn aside thither.. ¹¹ And the day comes, that he comes in thither, and turns aside unto the upper chamber, and lies there, ¹² and he said unto Gehazi his young man, `Call for this Shunammite;' and he calls for her, and she stands before him. ¹³ And he said to him, `Say, I pray you, unto her, Lo, you have troubled yourself concerning us with all this trouble; what--to do for you? is it to speak for you unto the king, or unto the head of the host?' and she said, `In the midst of my people I am dwelling.. ¹⁴ And he said, `And what--to do for her?' and Gehazi said, `Verily she has no son, and her husband [is] aged.. ¹⁵ And he said, `Call for her;' and he calls for her, and she stands at the opening, ¹⁶ and he said, `At this season, according to the time of life, you are embracing a son;' and she said, `Nay, my lord, O man of Elohim, do not lie unto your maid-servant.. ¹⁷ And the woman conceives and bears a son, at this season, according to the time of life, that Elisha spoke of unto her. ¹⁸ And the lad grows, and the day comes that he goes out unto his father, unto the reapers, ¹⁹ and he said unto his father, `My head, my head;' and he said unto the young man, `Bear him unto his mother;. ²⁰ and he bears him, and brings him in unto his mother, and he sits on her knees till the noon, and dies. ²¹ And she goes up, and lays him on the bed of the man of Elohim, and shuts [the door] upon him, and goes out, ²² and calls unto her husband, and said, `Send, I pray you, to me, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I run unto the man of Elohim, and return.. ²³ And he said, `Wherefore are you going unto him to-day? --neither new moon nor sabbath!' and she said, `Peace [to you]!. ²⁴ And she saddles the ass, and said unto her young man, `Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have said [so] to you.. ²⁵ And she goes, and comes in unto the man of Elohim, unto the hill of Carmel, and it comes to pass, at the man of Elohim's seeing her from over-against, that he said unto Gehazi his young man, `Lo, this Shunammite;" ²⁶ now, run, I pray you, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to you? is there peace to your husband? is there peace to the lad?' and she said, `Peace.. ²⁷ And she comes in unto the man of Elohim, unto the hill, and lays hold on his feet, and Gehazi comes nigh to thrust her away, and the man of Elohim said, `Let her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and Yahweh has hidden [it] from me, and has not declared [it] to me.. ²⁸ And she said, `Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?. ²⁹ And he said to Gehazi, `Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go; when you do meet a man, you do not salute him; and when a man does salute you, you do not answer him; and you have laid my staff on the face of the youth.. ³⁰ And the mother of the youth said, `Yahweh lives, and your soul lives--if I leave you;' and he rises and goes after her. ³¹ And Gehazi has passed on before them, and lays the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turns back to meet him, and declares to him, saying, `The youth has not awaked.. ³² And Elisha comes in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed, ³³ and he goes in and shuts the door upon them both, and prays unto Yahweh. ³⁴ And he goes up, and lies down on the lad, and puts his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretches himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becomes warm;" ³⁵ and he turns back and walks in the house, once hither and once thither, and goes up and stretches himself upon him, and the youth sneezes till seven times, and the youth opens his eyes. ³⁶ And he calls unto Gehazi, and said, `Call unto this Shunammite;' and he calls her, and she comes in unto him, and he said, `Lift up your son.. ³⁷ And she goes in, and falls at his feet, and bows herself to the earth, and lifts up her son, and goes out. ³⁸ And Elisha has turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he said to his young man, `Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.. ³⁹ And one goes out unto the field to gather herbs, and finds a vine of the field, and gathers of it gourds of the field--the fulness of his garment--and comes in and splits [them] into the pot of pottage, for they knew [them] not;" ⁴⁰ and they pour out for the men to eat, and it comes to pass at their eating of the pottage, that they have cried out, and say, `Death [is] in the pot, O man of Elohim!' and they have not been able to eat. ⁴¹ And he said, `Then bring you meal;' and he casts into the pot, and said, `Pour out for the people, and they eat;' and there was no evil thing in the pot. ⁴² And a man has come from Baal-Shalishah, and brings in to the man of Elohim bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk, and he said, `Give to the people, and they eat.. ⁴³ And his minister said, `What--do I give this before a hundred men?' and he said, `Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said Yahweh, Eat and leave;. ⁴⁴ and he gives before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of Yahweh.
