2 Kings 4

11  And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.

12  And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13  And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.

14  And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.

15  And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16  And he said, At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.

17  And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

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

19  And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.

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