30 The mother of the child said,“As certainly as the LORD lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So Elisha got up and followed her back.
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them. He placed the staff on the child’s face, but there was no sound or response. When he came back to Elisha he told him,“The child did not wake up.”
32 When Elisha arrived at the house, there was the child lying dead on his bed.
36 Elisha called to Gehazi and said,“Get the Shunammite woman.” So he did so and she came to him. He said to her,“Take your son.”

20 So he picked him up and took him to his mother. He sat on her lap until noon and then died.

22 She called to her husband,“Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can go see the prophet quickly and then return.”

26 Now, run to meet her and ask her,‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi,“Everything’s fine.”
12 He told his servant Gehazi,“Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” So he did so and she came to him.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi,“Tell her,‘Look, you have treated us with such great respect. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you with the king or the commander of the army?’” She replied,“I’m quite secure.”
14 So he asked Gehazi,“What can I do for her?” Gehazi replied,“She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Elisha told him,“Ask her to come here.” So he did so and she came and stood in the doorway.
16 He said,“About this time next year you will be holding a son.” She said,“No, my master! O prophet, do not lie to your servant!”
17 The woman did conceive, and at the specified time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18 The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers.
17 After this the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. His illness was so severe he could no longer breathe.
18 She asked Elijah,“Why, prophet, have you come to me to confront me with my sin and kill my son?”
19 He said to her,“Hand me your son.” He took him from her arms, carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him down on his bed.
20 Then he called out to the LORD,“O LORD, my God, are you also bringing disaster on this widow I am staying with by killing her son?”
21 He stretched out over the boy three times and called out to the LORD,“O LORD, my God, please let this boy’s breath return to him.”
1 Elisha Again Helps the Shunammite Woman Now Elisha advised the woman whose son he had brought back to life,“You and your family should go and live somewhere else for a while, for the LORD has decreed that a famine will overtake the land for seven years.”
2 So the woman did as the prophet said. She and her family went and lived in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
3 After seven years the woman returned from the land of the Philistines and went to ask the king to give her back her house and field.
4 Now the king was talking to Gehazi, the prophet’s servant, and said,“Tell me all the great things which Elisha has done.”
5 While Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha had brought the dead back to life, the woman whose son he had brought back to life came to ask the king for her house and field. Gehazi said,“My master, O king, this is the very woman and this is her son whom Elisha brought back to life!”
6 The king asked the woman about it, and she gave him the details. The king assigned a eunuch to take care of her request and ordered him,“Give her back everything she owns, as well as the amount of crops her field produced from the day she left the land until now.”
7 She went and told the prophet. He said,“Go, sell the olive oil. Repay your creditor, and then you and your sons can live off the rest of the profit.”
8 Elisha Gives Life to a Boy One day Elisha traveled to Shunem, where a prominent woman lived. She insisted that he stop for a meal. So whenever he was passing through, he would stop in there for a meal.

1 Elisha Helps a Widow and Her Sons Now a wife of one of the prophets appealed to Elisha for help, saying,“Your servant, my husband is dead. You know that your servant was a loyal follower of the LORD. Now the creditor is coming to take away my two boys to be his servants.”
2 Elisha said to her,“What can I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered,“Your servant has nothing in the house except a small jar of olive oil.”
6 The woman went and said to her husband,“A man sent from God came to me! He looked like God’s angel– he was very awesome. I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name.
24 When he arrived at the hill, he took them from the servants and put them in the house. Then he sent the men on their way.
25 When he came and stood before his master, Elisha asked him,“Where have you been, Gehazi?” He answered,“Your servant hasn’t been anywhere.”
26 Elisha replied,“I was there in spirit when a man turned and got down from his chariot to meet you. This is not the proper time to accept silver or to accept clothes, olive groves, vineyards, sheep, cattle, and male and female servants.
20 Gehazi, the prophet Elisha’s servant, thought,“Look, my master did not accept what this Syrian Naaman offered him. As certainly as the LORD lives, I will run after him and accept something from him.”
21 So Gehazi ran after Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from his chariot to meet him and asked,“Is everything all right?”
3 She told her mistress,“If only my master were in the presence of the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his skin disease.”
4 Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.
14 So she slept beside him until morning. She woke up while it was still dark. Boaz thought,“No one must know that a woman visited the threshing floor.”
4 When he gets ready to go to sleep, take careful notice of the place where he lies down. Then go, uncover his legs, and lie down beside him. He will tell you what you should do.”
47 When the woman saw that she could not escape notice, she came trembling and fell down before him. In the presence of all the people, she explained why she had touched him and how she had been immediately healed.
26 She said,“My lord. Just as surely as you are alive, my lord, I am the woman who previously stood here with you in order to pray to the LORD.
28 Then the king asked her,“What’s your problem?” She answered,“This woman said to me,‘Hand over your son; we’ll eat him today and then eat my son tomorrow.’
