¹¹ One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there. ¹² He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. ¹³ He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’”

She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”

¹⁴ He said, “What then is to be done for her?”

Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”

¹⁵ He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door. ¹⁶ He said, “At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son.”

She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

¹⁷ The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
