12:004:002 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I
do for thee? tell me,
what
hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid
hath
not
any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
12:004:003 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad
of all thy
neighbours,
even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
12:004:004 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut
the door upon thee
and
upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and
thou shalt set aside that which is full.
12:004:005 So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her
sons,
who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
12:004:006 And it came to pass, when the vessels were
full, that she said
unto
her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto
her,
There
is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
12:004:007 Then she came and told the man of God.
And he said, Go, sell
the
oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children
of
the
rest.
12:004:008 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed
to Shunem, where was
a
great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread.
And so it
was,
that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to
eat
bread.
12:004:009 And she said unto her husband, Behold now,
I perceive that
this
is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
12:004:010 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee,
on the wall; and
let
us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool,
and
a
candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to
us, that he
shall
turn in thither.
12:004:011 And it fell on a day, that he came thither,
and he turned into
the
chamber, and lay there.
12:004:012 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call
this Shunammite. And
when
he had called her, she stood before him.
12:004:013 And he said unto him, Say now unto her,
Behold, thou hast been
careful
for us with all this care; what is to be done for
thee?
wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the
captain
of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine
own
people.
12:004:014 And he said, What then is to be done for
her? And Gehazi
answered,
Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
12:004:015 And he said, Call her. And when he
had called her, she stood
in
the door.
12:004:016 And he said, About this season, according
to the time of life,
thou
shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord,
thou man
of
God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
12:004:017 And the woman conceived, and bare a son
at that season that
Elisha
had said unto her, according to the time of life.
