2 Kings 4:27-29

Christian Standard Bible

²⁷ When she came up to the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet.^(A) Gehazi came to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone—she is in severe anguish,^(B) and the Lord has hidden it from me. He hasn’t told me.”

²⁸ Then she said, “Did I ask my lord for a son? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not lie to me?’” ^(C)

²⁹ So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your mantle^(D) under your belt, take my staff with you, and go. If you meet anyone, don’t stop to greet him, and if a man greets you, don’t answer him.^(E) Then place my staff on the boy’s face.”
