11One day Elisha came for a visit; he went into the upper room and rested.
12He told his servant Gehazi,“Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” So he did so and she came to him.
13Elisha 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.”
14So he asked Gehazi,“What can I do for her?” Gehazi replied,“She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15Elisha told him,“Ask her to come here.” So he did so and she came and stood in the doorway.
16He 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!”
17The woman did conceive, and at the specified time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
18The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers.
19He said to his father,“My head! My head!” His father told a servant,“Carry him to his mother.”
20So he picked him up and took him to his mother. He sat on her lap until noon and then died.
21She went up and laid him down on the prophet’s bed. She shut the door behind her and left.
22She 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.”
23He said,“Why do you want to go see him today? It is not the new moon or the Sabbath.” She said,“Everything’s fine.”
24She saddled the donkey and told her servant,“Lead on. Do not stop unless I say so.”
25So she went to visit the prophet at Mount Carmel. When he saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi,“Look, it’s the Shunammite woman.
26Now, run to meet her and ask her,‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi,“Everything’s fine.”
27But when she reached the prophet on the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the prophet said,“Leave her alone, for she is very upset. The LORD has kept the matter hidden from me; he didn’t tell me about it.”
28She said,“Did I ask my master for a son? Didn’t I say,‘Don’t mislead me?’”
29Elisha told Gehazi,“Tuck your robes into your belt, take my staff, and go! Don’t stop to exchange greetings with anyone! Place my staff on the child’s face.”
30The 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.
31Now 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.”
32When Elisha arrived at the house, there was the child lying dead on his bed.
33He went in by himself and closed the door. Then he prayed to the LORD.
34He got up on the bed and spread his body out over the boy; he put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, his eyes over the boy’s eyes, and the palms of his hands against the boy’s palms. He bent down over him, and the boy’s skin grew warm.
35Elisha went back and walked around in the house. Then he got up on the bed again and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36Elisha 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.”

17After this the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. His illness was so severe he could no longer breathe.
18She asked Elijah,“Why, prophet, have you come to me to confront me with my sin and kill my son?”
19He 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.
20Then 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?”
21He 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.”
