When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father, to the reapers.

And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

And he said to his father, "My head, my head!" And his father said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."

And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.

When he had carried him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door behind him and left.

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return."

And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

But he said, "Why are you going to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath." So she just said, "It will be fine."

And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.

Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Drive the donkey and go on; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."

Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.

So she went on and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, that person there is the Shunammite.

So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:

"Please run now to meet her and say to her, 'Is it going well for you? Is it going well for your husband? Is it going well for the child?'" Then she answered, "It is going well."

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well:

But she came to the man of God at the hill and took hold of his feet. And Gehazi came up to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has concealed it from me and has not informed me."

And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.

Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not give me false hope'?"

Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

Then he said to Gehazi, "Get ready and take my staff in your hand, and go; if you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply to him. And lay my staff on the boy's face."

Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.

The mother of the boy said, "As surely as the LORD lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you." So he got up and followed her.

And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

Then Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and informed him, saying, "The boy has not awakened."

And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.

When Elisha entered the house, behold the boy was dead, laid on his bed.

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

So he entered and shut the door behind them both, and he prayed to the LORD.

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord .

Then he got up on the bed and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, his hands on his hands, and he bent down on him; and the flesh of the child became warm.

And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

Then he returned and walked in the house back and forth once, and went up and bent down on him; and the boy sneezed seven times, then the boy opened his eyes.

Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

And he called Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, "Pick up your son."

And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.

Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed down to the ground, and she picked up her son and left.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
