2 Kings 4:16-24
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
