2 Kings 4:12-16
New American Standard Bible
12 Then he said to his servant (A)Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite.” And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have taken trouble for us with all this [a]care; what can I do for you? [b]Would you like me to speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’” But she [c]answered, “I live among my own people.” 14 So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi [d]answered, “It is a fact that she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He then said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the doorway. 16 Then he said, “(B)At this season [e]next year, you are going to embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, you man of God, (C)do not lie to your servant.”
