18 And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers, 19 He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant. Take him, and carry him to his mother. 20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she sat him on her knees, until noon, and then he died. 21 And she went up, and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out, 22 She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass, that I may run to the man of God, and come again. 23 And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? to day is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go. 24 And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going: And do that which I bid thee. 25 So she went forward, and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel: and when the man of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi, his servant: Behold that Sunamitess. 26 Go, therefore, to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son?
