And when he called her, she presented her selfe before him. 13 And againe he said vnto him: Tel her, beholde thou hast ben carefull for vs with all this care, What shal we now do for thee? Wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captayne of the hoast? She aunswered: I dwell among myne owne people. 14 And he said againe: What is to be done for her? Gehezi aunswered: Ueryly she hath no childe, and her husband is olde. 15 And he said: Call her. And when he had called her, she stoode in the doore. 16 And he saide: At this tyme appoynted, according to the tyme of lyfe, thou shalt imbrace a sonne.
