2 Kings 4:11-17 - The Shunammite Woman's Son

¹¹ And it fortuned on a time that he came thither and turned into the chamber and lay there. ¹² Then he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." And he called her, and she came before him.

¹³ And Elisha said to him, "Say to her I pray thee, 'See, thou hast made all this provision for us, what shall we do for thee? Wouldest thou be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the Host?" And she said, "I dwell among mine own people."

¹⁴ Then he said, "What is to be done for her?" And Gehazi said, "Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old."

¹⁵ And he said, "Call her." And he called her. And she came and stood at the door. ¹⁶ Then he said, "By such a time, as soon as the fruit can live, thou shalt embrace a son." And she said, "Oh nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto the handmaid."

¹⁷ And the wife conceived and bare a son the same season that Elisha had said unto her, "As soon as the fruit could have life."
