2 Kings 4

1 And a woman one from [the] wives of [the] sons of the prophets she cried out to Elisha saying servant your husband my he is dead and you you know that servant your he was fearing Yahweh and the creditor [is] about to come to take [the] two children my for himself to slaves.

Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”

2 And he said to her Elisha what? will I do for you tell to me what? [is] there ([belonging] to you *Q(k)*) in the house and she said not [belongs] to maidservant your anything in the house that except a jar of oil.

Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”

3 And he said go ask for yourself vessels from the outside from with all (neighbors your *Q(k)*) vessels empty may not you make few.

Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers.

4 And you will go and you will shut the door behind you and behind children your and you will pour out on all the vessels these and the full [one] you will set aside.

Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”

5 And she went from with him and she shut the door behind her and behind children her they [were] bringing to her and she ([was] pouring out. *Q(k)*)

So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.

6 And it was - when were full the vessels and she said to son her bring near! to me still a vessel and he said to her there not still [is] a vessel and it stopped the oil.

When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 And she came and she told to [the] man of God and he said go sell the oil and pay (debt your *Q(K)*) and you (and children your *Q(K)*) you will live by the remainder.

Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

8 And it was the day and he passed on Elisha to Shunem and [was] there a woman great and she urged him to eat food and it was as often as passed by he he turned aside there towards to eat food.

One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.

9 And she said to husband her here! please I know that [is] a man of God holy he [who] passes by at us continually.

She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.

10 Let us make please an upper room of a wall small and let us put for him there a bed and a table and a chair and a lampstand and it will be when comes he to us he will turn aside there towards.

Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”

11 And it was the day and he came there towards and he turned aside to the upper room and he lay down there.

One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.

12 And he said to Gehazi servant his summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she stood before him.

He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.

13 And he said to him say please to her here! you have taken care - to us all the care this what? [is] to do for you ¿ [is] there to speak for you to the king or? to [the] commander of the army and she said in among own people my I [am] dwelling.

He 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.”

14 And he said and what? [is] to do for her and he said Gehazi indeed a son not [belongs] to her and husband her he is old.

He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”

15 And he said summon her and he summoned her and she stood at the entrance.

He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 And he said to the appointed time this about the time living (you *Q(K)*) [will be] embracing a son and she said may [you] not O lord my O man of God may not you tell a lie to maidservant your.

He 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.”

17 And she conceived the woman and she gave birth to a son to the appointed time this about the time living which he had spoken to her Elisha.

The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.

18 And he grew up the child and it was the day and he went out to father his to the harvesters.

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

19 And he said to father his head my - head my and he said to the servant carry him to mother his.

He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20 And he carried him and he brought him to mother his and he sat on knees her until the noontide and he died.

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

21 And she went up and she made lie him on [the] bed of [the] man of God and she shut behind him and she went out.

She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.

22 And she called to husband her and she said send! please to me one of the servants and one of the donkeys so I may run to [the] man of God so I may return.

She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”

23 And he said why? ([are] you *Q(K)*) (going *Q(k)*) to him this day not new moon and not sabbath and she said peace.

He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”

24 And she saddled the donkey and she said to servant her lead on and go may not you hold back me to ride that except I have said to you.

Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”

25 And she went and she came to [the] man of God to [the] mountain of Carmel and it was when saw [the] man of God her from before and he said to Gehazi servant his there! [is] the Shunammite [woman] this.

So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.

26 Now run please to meet her and say to her ¿ [does] peace [belong] to you ¿ [does] peace [belong] to husband your ¿ [does] peace [belong] to the child and she said peace.

Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”

27 And she came to [the] man of God to the mountain and she took hold on feet his and he drew near Gehazi to drive away her and he said [the] man of God refrain to her for self her it is bitter to her and Yahweh he has hidden from me and not he has told to me.

When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”

28 And she said ¿ did I ask for a son from with lord my ¿ not did I say not you must deceive me.

Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”

29 And he said to Gehazi gird up loins your and take staff my in hand your and go if you will meet anyone not you must bless him and if he will bless you anyone not you must answer him and you will put staff my on [the] face of the lad.

Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”

30 And she said [the] mother of the lad [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and he arose and he went after her.

The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.

31 And Gehazi he passed on before them and he put the staff on [the] face of the lad and there not [was] a sound and there not [was] attention and he went back to meet him and he told to him saying not he has awakened the lad.

Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”

32 And he came Elisha the house towards and there! the lad [was] dead laid on bed his.

When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.

33 And he went and he shut the door behind [the] two of them and he prayed to Yahweh.

He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.

34 And he went up and he lay on the child and he put mouth his on mouth his and eyes his on eyes his and palms his on (palms his *Q(K)*) and he crouched over him and it became warm [the] flesh of the child.

He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.

35 And he went back and he walked in the house one [time] hither and one [time] hither and he went up and he crouched over him and he sneezed the lad until seven times and he opened the lad eyes his.

Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 And he summoned Gehazi and he said summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she came to him and he said take up son your.

He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”

37 And she came and she fell at feet his and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she took up son her and she went out.

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

38 And Elisha he returned Gilgal towards and famine [was] in the land and [the] sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him and he said to servant his put on the pot large and cook cooked food for [the] sons of the prophets.

Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”

39 And he went out one [man] to the field to gather herbs and he found a vine of [the] field and he gathered from it gourds of [the] field [the] fullness of garment his and he came and he sliced [them] into [the] pot of the cooked food for not people knew.

One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them.

40 And they poured [it] out for [the] men to eat and it was when ate they some of the cooked food and they they cried out and they said death [is] in the pot O man of God and not they were able to eat [it].

So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.

41 And he said and fetch flour and he threw [it] into the pot and he said pour [it] out for the people so they may eat and not it was a thing bad in the pot.

But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

42 And a man he came from Baal Shalisha and he brought to [the] man of God bread of first-fruits twenty bread[s] of barley and new corn in sack his and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat.

A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”

43 And he said servant his what? will I put this before a hundred man and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat for thus he says Yahweh they will eat and they will have more than enough.

His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”

44 And he put [it] before them and they ate and they had more than enough according to [the] word of Yahweh.

So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
