And Elijah said to Elisha, Remain here, I pray thee, for LORD has sent me as far as Bethel. And Elisha said, As LORD lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.

And Elijah said to him, Elisha, remain here, I pray thee, for LORD has sent me to Jericho. And he said, As LORD lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.

And Elijah said to him, Remain here, I pray thee, for LORD has sent me to the Jordan. And he said, As LORD lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And the two went on.

And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two went over on dry ground.

And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the waters, and said, Where is LORD, the God of Elijah? And when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided here and there, and Elisha went over.

But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of LORD, that we may inquire of LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what have thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything in the house except a pot of oil.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons. They brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is no more a vessel. And the oil halted.

And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.

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

And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou have been caring for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Would thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army? And she answered, I dwell among my own p

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

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

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

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

And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward. Do not restrain my riding unless I bid thee.

So she went, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite.

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away, but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and LORD has hid it from me, and has n

And the mother of the child said, As LORD lives, and as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.

And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, Take up thy 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.

And she said to her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal him of his leprosy.

And the king said to her, What troubles thee? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give thy 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 thy son that we may eat him. And she has hid her son.

Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we sit here until we die?

If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we shall

And the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. And she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

And it came to pass at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land.

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O

And 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.

And Elisha came to Damascus, and Benhadad the king of Syria was sick. And it was told him, saying, The man of God has come here.

And the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the portion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.

And it came to pass, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so many?

And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. And she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.

And he said, Throw her down. So they threw her down. And some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. And he trampled her under foot.

And when he came in, he ate and drank, and he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and bury her, for she is a king's daughter.

And they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and the palms of her hands.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal. And he said to the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

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

And he was with her hidden in the house of LORD six years. And Athaliah reigned over the land.

And she looked, and, behold, the king stood by the pillar, as the manner 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, Tre

And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of hundreds who were set over the army, and said to them, Have her forth between the ranks, and kill with the sword the man who follows her. For the priest said, Let her not be slain i

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

This is the word that LORD has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised thee and laughed thee to scorn. The daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head at thee.

Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it is grown up.
