Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me: what do you have in the house?" She said, "Your handmaid has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil."

So she went from him, and shut the door on her and on her sons; they brought the containers to her, and she poured out.

It happened, when the containers were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." He said to her, "There isn't another container." The oil stopped flowing.

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."

It fell on a day, that Elisha passed 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.

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

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

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."

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

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

He said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son." She said, "No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid."

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

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."

He said, "Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath." She said, "It's alright."

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."

So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.

Please run now to meet her, and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" She answered, "It is well."

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 Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me."

Then she said, "Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn't I say, Do not deceive me?"

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."

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

The Syrians had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy."

The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'

So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."

The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years.

It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.

When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, "Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now."

When Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your master?"

When he was come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter."

Now when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal.

When Athaliah heard the noise of the guard [and of] the people, she came to the people into the house of Yahweh:

and she looked, and behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the tradition was, and the captains and the trumpets by the king; and all the people of the land rejoiced, and blew trumpets. Then Athaliah tore her clothes, and cried, "Treason! Treason!"

So they made way for her; and she went by the way of the horses' entry to the king's house. She was slain there.

Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, until he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; besides his sin with which he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh.

So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe (now she lived in Jerusalem in the second quarter); and they talked with her.

She said to them, "Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: 'Tell the man who sent you to me,

and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood: and Yahweh would not pardon.
