2 Kings 4:11-17

Modern English Version

¹¹ One day he came by there, and he turned aside to the upper room and lay down. ¹² He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she stood before him. ¹³ He said to him, “Say to her, Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What may be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king, or to the captain of the army?”

And she answered, “I am living among my people.”

¹⁴ He said, “What may be done for her?”

And Gehazi said, “Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old.”

¹⁵ He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the entrance. ¹⁶ He said, “At this season, when it is time, you will embrace a son.”

And she said, “No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

¹⁷ But the woman conceived and bore a son at that season, at the time that Elisha had told her.
