2 Kings 4:11-17

Lexham English Bible

¹¹ One day it happened that he came there and went to the upper room and lay down there. ¹² He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call to this Shunammite,” so he called to her, and she stood before him. ¹³ He said to him, “Please say to her, ‘Look, you took all this trouble, showing care for us; what is there for me to do for you? To speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’” She said, “I am living among my people.” ¹⁴ Then he said, “What may be done for her?” Gehazi said, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.” ¹⁵ And he said, “Call for her,” so he called for her and she stood in the doorway. ¹⁶ And he said, “At this time next spring,^[a] you will be embracing a son.” She said, “No, my lord, O man of God! You must not tell a lie to your servant!” ¹⁷ But the woman conceived, and she bore a son in the spring,^[b] which Elisha had promised to her.
