1	Now there cried# a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying# , Thy servant my husband is dead# ; and thou knowest# that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor# is come# to take# unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
			2	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.
			3	Then he said# , Go# , borrow# thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few# . [borrow not...: or, scant not]
			4	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.
			5	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# .
			6	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# .
			7	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# . [debt: or, creditor]
			8	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. [it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day] [constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him]
			9	And she said# unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive# that this is an holy man of God, which passeth# by us continually.
			10	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.
			11	And it fell on a day, that he came# thither, and he turned# into the chamber, and lay# there.
			12	And he said# to Gehazi his servant, Call# this Shunammite. And when he had called# her, she stood# before him.
			13	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.
			14	And he said# , What then is to be done# for her? And Gehazi answered# , Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old# .
			15	And he said# , Call# her. And when he had called# her, she stood# in the door.
			16	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. [season: Heb. set time]
			17	And the woman conceived# , and bare# a son at that season that Elisha had said# unto her, according to the time of life.
			18	And when the child was grown# , it fell on a day, that he went out# to his father to the reapers# .
			19	And he said# unto his father, My head, my head. And he said# to a lad, Carry# him to his mother.
			20	And when he had taken# him, and brought# him to his mother, he sat# on her knees till noon, and then died# .
			21	And she went up# , and laid# him on the bed of the man of God, and shut# the door upon him, and went out# .
			22	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# .
			23	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. [well: Heb. peace]
			24	Then she saddled# an ass, and said# to her servant, Drive# , and go forward# ; slack# not thy riding# for me, except I bid# thee. [slack...: Heb. restrain not for me to ride]
			25	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:
			26	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.
			27	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. [him...: Heb. by his feet] [vexed: Heb. bitter]
			28	Then she said# , Did I desire# a son of my lord? did I not say# , Do not deceive# me?
			29	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.
			30	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.
			31	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# . [hearing: Heb. attention]
			32	And when Elisha was come# into the house, behold, the child was dead# , and laid# upon his bed.
			33	He went in# therefore, and shut# the door upon them twain, and prayed# unto the LORD.
			34	And he went up# , and lay# upon the child, and put# his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched# himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm# .
			35	Then he returned# , and walked# in the house to# and fro# ; and went up# , and stretched# himself upon him: and the child sneezed# seven times, and the child opened# his eyes. [to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither]
			36	And he called# Gehazi, and said# , Call# this Shunammite. So he called# her. And when she was come in# unto him, he said# , Take up# thy son.
			37	Then she went in# , and fell# at his feet, and bowed# herself to the ground, and took up# her son, and went out# .
			38	And Elisha came again# to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting# before him: and he said# unto his servant, Set# on the great pot, and seethe# pottage for the sons of the prophets.
			39	And one went out# into the field to gather# herbs, and found# a wild vine, and gathered# thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came# and shred# them into the pot of pottage: for they knew# them not.
			40	So they poured out# for the men to eat# . And it came to pass, as they were eating# of the pottage, that they cried out# , and said# , O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could# not eat# thereof .
			41	But he said# , Then bring# meal. And he cast# it into the pot; and he said# , Pour out# for the people, that they may eat# . And there was no harm# in the pot. [harm: Heb. evil thing]
			42	And there came# a man from Baalshalisha, and brought# the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said# , Give# unto the people, that they may eat# . [the husk...: or, his scrip, or, garment]
			43	And his servitor# said# , What, should I set# this before an hundred men? He said again# , Give# the people, that they may eat# : for thus saith# the LORD, They shall eat# , and shall leave# thereof .
			44	So he set# it before them, and they did eat# , and left# thereof , according to the word of the LORD.
