    12He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite woman." So he called her, and she stood before him.

    13Elisha said to him, "Tell her this: 'You have gone to all this trouble for us. What can be done for you? Should I speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?'" She replied, "I am content to live among my own people."

    14Elisha asked, "What then can be done for her?" Gehazi answered, "Well, she has no son, and her husband is old."

    15Elisha said, "Call her." So Gehazi called her, and she came and stood in the doorway.

    16Then Elisha said, "At this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms." She replied, "No, my lord, man of God, do not deceive your servant."

    17But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the appointed time the next year, just as Elisha had told her.

    18The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers.

    19He said to his father, "My head! My head!" His father told a servant, "Carry him to his mother."

    20The servant carried the boy to his mother, and the child sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.

    21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.

    22She called her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God and come back."

    23He asked, "Why are you going to him today? It’s not a New Moon or a Sabbath." She replied, "It is well."

    24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Lead on; don’t slow down for me unless I tell you."

    25So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When Elisha saw her in the distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite woman!"

    26Now run to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?' And she answered, 'Everything is all right.'

    27When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came to push her away, but the man of God said, 'Leave her alone! She is deeply troubled, but the LORD has hidden the reason from me and has not told me.'

    28She said, 'Did I ask for a son from my lord? Didn’t I say, “Do not raise my hopes”?'

    29Elisha said to Gehazi, 'Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet them, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy's face.'
