    11 One day, when Elisha came, he went up to the upper room and lay down there.

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

    13 Elisha 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."

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

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

    16 Then 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."

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

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

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

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

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

    22 She 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."

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

    25 So 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!"

    26 Now 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.'

    27 When 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.'

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

    29 Elisha 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.'

    30 But the boy’s mother said, 'As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.' So he got up and followed her.

    31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, 'The boy has not awakened.'

    32 When Elisha arrived at the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.

    33 He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the LORD.

    34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched out over him, the boy’s flesh grew warm.

    35 Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the house. Then he went up and stretched out over the boy again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

    21 Elijah stretched himself out over the child three times and cried out to the LORD, "O LORD my God, please let the boy’s life return to him."
