And he said to the young man, Carry him to his mother. 20 And he carried him, and brought him to his mother. And he sat on her knees until noon, and died. 21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out. 22 And she called to her husband, and said, Please send to me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I shall run to the man of God, and return. 23 And he said, Why are you going to him today; it is neither new moon nor sabbath? And she said, Peace. 24 And she saddled the ass and said to her young man, Lead on, and go. Do not hold back riding for me except I speak to you. 25 And she went, and came to the man of God, to Mount Carmel. And it happened, when the man of God saw her from afar, he said to his young man Gehazi, Behold, The Shunammite! 26 Now please run to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you?

that he said to Gehazi his servant, behold, yonder is that Shunammite; that has so often and so hospitably entertained us at her house.
