2 Kings 4:17-37

4:17

And the woman
<0802>

conceived
<02029> (8799)_,

and bare
<03205> (8799)

a son
<01121>

at that season
<04150>

that Elisha
<0477>

had said
<01696> (8765)

unto her, according to the time
<06256>

of life
<02416>_.

4:18

And when the child
<03206>

was grown
<01431> (8799)_,

it fell on a day
<03117>_,

that he went out
<03318> (8799)

to his father
<01>

to the reapers
<07114> (8802)_.

4:19

And he said
<0559> (8799)

unto his father
<01>_,

My head
<07218>_,

my head
<07218>_.

And he said
<0559> (8799)

to a lad
<05288>_,

Carry
<05375> (8798)

him to his mother
<0517>_.

4:20

And when he had taken
<05375> (8799)

him, and brought
<0935> (8686)

him to his mother
<0517>_,

he sat
<03427> (8799)

on her knees
<01290>

till noon
<06672>_,

and [then] died
<04191> (8799)_.

4:21

And she went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and laid
<07901> (8686)

him on the bed
<04296>

of the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and shut
<05462> (8799)

[the door] upon him, and went out
<03318> (8799)_.

4:22

And she called
<07121> (8799)

unto her husband
<0376>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Send
<07971> (8798)

me, I pray thee, one
<0259>

of the young men
<05288>_,

and one
<0259>

of the asses
<0860>_,

that I may run
<07323> (8799)

to the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>_,

and come again
<07725> (8799)_.

4:23

And he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Wherefore wilt thou go
<01980> (8802)

to him to day
<03117>_?

[it is] neither new moon
<02320>_,

nor sabbath
<07676>_.

And she said
<0559> (8799)_,

[It shall be] well
<07965>_.

{well: Heb. peace}

4:24

Then she saddled
<02280> (8799)

an ass
<0860>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)

to her servant
<05288>_,

Drive
<05090> (8798)_,

and go forward
<03212> (8798)_;

slack
<06113> (8799)

not [thy] riding
<07392> (8800)

for me, except I bid
<0559> (8804)

thee. {slack...: Heb. restrain not for me to ride}

4:25

So she went
<03212> (8799)

and came
<0935> (8799)

unto the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

to mount
<02022>

Carmel
<03760>_.

And it came to pass, when the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

saw her afar off
<07200> (8800)_,

that he said
<0559> (8799)

to Gehazi
<01522>

his servant
<05288>_,

Behold, [yonder is] that
<01975>

Shunammite
<07767>_:

4:26

Run
<07323> (8798)

now, I pray thee, to meet
<07125> (8800)

her, and say
<0559> (8798)

unto her, [Is it] well
<07965>

with thee? [is it] well
<07965>

with thy husband
<0376>_?

[is it] well
<07965>

with the child
<03206>_?

And she answered
<0559> (8799)_,

[It is] well
<07965>_.

4:27

And when she came
<0935> (8799)

to the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

to the hill
<02022>_,

she caught
<02388> (8686)

him by the feet
<07272>_:

but Gehazi
<01522>

came near
<05066> (8799)

to thrust her away
<01920> (8800)_.

And the man
<0376>

of God
<0430>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

Let her alone
<07503> (8685)_;

for her soul
<05315>

[is] vexed
<04843> (8804)

within her: and the LORD
<03068>

hath hid
<05956> (8689)

[it] from me, and hath not told
<05046> (8689)

me. {him...: Heb. by his feet} {vexed: Heb. bitter}

4:28

Then she said
<0559> (8799)_,

Did I desire
<07592> (8804)

a son
<01121>

of my lord
<0113>_?

did I not say
<0559> (8804)_,

Do not deceive
<07952> (8686)

me?

4:29

Then he said
<0559> (8799)

to Gehazi
<01522>_,

Gird up
<02296> (8798)

thy loins
<04975>_,

and take
<03947> (8798)

my staff
<04938>

in thine hand
<03027>_,

and go thy way
<03212> (8798)_:

if thou meet
<04672> (8799)

any man
<0376>_,

salute
<01288> (8762)

him not; and if any
<0376>

salute
<01288> (8762)

thee, answer him not again
<06030> (8799)_:

and lay
<07760> (8804)

my staff
<04938>

upon the face
<06440>

of the child
<05288>_.

4:30

And the mother
<0517>

of the child
<05288>

said
<0559> (8799)_,

[As] the LORD
<03068>

liveth
<02416>_,

and [as] thy soul
<05315>

liveth
<02416>_,

I will not leave
<05800> (8799)

thee. And he arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and followed
<03212> (8799) <0310>

her.

4:31

And Gehazi
<01522>

passed on
<05674> (8804)

before
<06440>

them, and laid
<07760> (8799)

the staff
<04938>

upon the face
<06440>

of the child
<05288>_;

but [there was] neither voice
<06963>_,

nor hearing
<07182>_.

Wherefore he went again
<07725> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

him, and told
<05046> (8686)

him, saying
<0559> (8800)_,

The child
<05288>

is not awaked
<06974> (8689)_.

{hearing: Heb. attention}

4:32

And when Elisha
<0477>

was come
<0935> (8799)

into the house
<01004>_,

behold, the child
<05288>

was dead
<04191> (8801)_,

[and] laid
<07901> (8716)

upon his bed
<04296>_.

4:33

He went in
<0935> (8799)

therefore, and shut
<05462> (8799)

the door
<01817>

upon them twain
<08147>_,

and prayed
<06419> (8691)

unto the LORD
<03068>_.

4:34

And he went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and lay
<07901> (8799)

upon the child
<03206>_,

and put
<07760> (8799)

his mouth
<06310>

upon his mouth
<06310>_,

and his eyes
<05869>

upon his eyes
<05869>_,

and his hands
<03709>

upon his hands
<03709>_:

and he stretched
<01457> (8799)

himself upon the child; and the flesh
<01320>

of the child
<03206>

waxed warm
<02552> (8799)_.

4:35

Then he returned
<07725> (8799)_,

and walked
<03212> (8799)

in the house
<01004>

to
<0259> <02008>

and fro
<0259> <02008>_;

and went up
<05927> (8799)_,

and stretched
<01457> (8799)

himself upon him: and the child
<05288>

sneezed
<02237> (8779)

seven
<07651>

times
<06471>_,

and the child
<05288>

opened
<06491> (8799)

his eyes
<05869>_.

{to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither}

4:36

And he called
<07121> (8799)

Gehazi
<01522>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Call
<07121> (8798)

this Shunammite
<07767>_.

So he called
<07121> (8799)

her. And when she was come in
<0935> (8799)

unto him, he said
<0559> (8799)_,

Take up
<05375> (8798)

thy son
<01121>_.

4:37

Then she went in
<0935> (8799)_,

and fell
<05307> (8799)

at his feet
<07272>_,

and bowed
<07812> (8691)

herself to the ground
<0776>_,

and took up
<05375> (8799)

her son
<01121>_,

and went out
<03318> (8799)_.
