12:004:018 And when the child was grown, it fell on
a day, that he went
out
to his father to the reapers.
12:004:019 And he said unto his father, My head, my
head. And he said to
a
lad, Carry him to his mother.
12:004:020 And when he had taken him, and brought
him to his mother, he
sat
on her knees till noon, and then died.
12:004:021 And she went up, and laid him on the bed
of the man of God,
and
shut the door upon him, and went out.
12:004:022 And she called unto her husband, and said,
Send me, I pray
thee,
one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I
may
run
to the man of God, and come again.
12:004:023 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to
him to day? it is
neither
new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall
be well.
12:004:024 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her
servant, Drive, and
go
forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid
thee.
12:004:025 So she went and came unto the man of God
to mount Carmel. And
it
came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off,
that he
said
to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
12:004:026 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and
say unto her, Is it
well
with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well
with
the
child? And she answered, It is well:
12:004:027 And when she came to the man of God to
the hill, she caught
him
by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her
away. And
the
man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed
within
her: and the lord hath hid it from me, and
hath not
told
me.
12:004:028 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my
lord? did I not say,
Do
not deceive me?
12:004:029 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins,
and take my staff
in
thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man,
salute
him
not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again:
and lay
my
staff upon the face of the child.
12:004:030 And the mother of the child said, As the
lord liveth, and as
thy
soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose,
and
followed
her.
12:004:031 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid
the staff upon the
face
of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing.
Wherefore
he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The
child
is not awaked.
12:004:032 And when Elisha was come into the house,
behold, the child was
dead,
and laid upon his bed.
12:004:033 He went in therefore, and shut the door
upon them twain, and
prayed
unto the lord.
