2 Kings 4:11-17
Legacy Standard Bible
11 Now it happened that one day he came there and turned in to the upper chamber, and there he [a]lay down. 12 Then he said to (A)Gehazi his young man, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her, and she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have been [b]careful for us with all this [c]care; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the commander of the army?’” And she [d]answered, “I live among my own people.” 14 So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi [e]answered, “Truly she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 And he said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 Then he said, “(B)At this season [f]next year you will embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God, (C)do not lie to your servant-woman.”
17 Then the woman conceived and bore a son at that season [g]the next year, as Elisha had said to her.

Common English Bible
11 So one day Elisha came there, headed to the room on the roof, and lay down. 12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” Gehazi called her, and she stood before him. 13 Elisha then said to Gehazi, “Say to her, ‘Look, you’ve gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can say on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’”
She said, “I’m content to live at home with my own people.”
14 Elisha asked, “So what can be done for her?”
Gehazi said, “Well, she doesn’t have a son, and her husband is old.”
15 Elisha said, “Call her.” So Gehazi called her, and she stood at the door. 16 Elisha said, “About this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.”
But she said, “No, man of God, sir; don’t lie to your servant.”
17 But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at about the same time the next year. This was what Elisha had promised her.
