2 Kings 4:17
Verse 17 of 44. The 4th of 25 chapters in 2 Kings, in History.
13He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
14He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
16He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
17The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
18When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
19He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
21She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
