Elijah and Elisha were going from Gilgal, and Elijah said to Elisha, "Tarry here, I pray thee, for the LORD hath sent me to Bethel." But Elisha said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And when they came to Bethel,

Then said Elijah to Elisha, "Tarry here a fellowship: for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho." And he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as surely as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went to Jericho.

And Elijah said to him, "Tarry, I pray thee, here: for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan." But he said, "As surely as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And so they went both of them together.

But Jehoshaphat said, "Is there here no prophet of the LORD's, that we may enquire of the LORD by him?" And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, "Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat which poured water on the hands of Elijah."

And Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thine house?" And she said, thy handmaid hath nothing at all in her house, save a pitcher with oil.

And she went from him, and shut the door to her and her sons. And they brought to her, and she poured out.

And when the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring yet a vessel." And he said, "There is no more." And then the oil ceased.

And she said unto her husband, "See, I perceive that the man of God is perfect, and cometh always by us.

Then he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." And he called her, and she came before him.

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."

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

And he said, "Call her." And he called her. And she came and stood at the door.

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."

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

and came to her husband and said, "Send me one of the young men and an ass that I may run to the man of God."

And so she went and came unto the man of God, to mount Carmel. And when the man of God saw her a far, he said to Gehazi his servant, "See, where our servant cometh.

Now run against her, and ask her, whether it be all well with her, and with her husband and with the lad." And she said, "All is well."

Then she went to the man of God up to the hill and caught him by the feet. And Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away. But the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is vexed, and the LORD hath hid it from me and hath not told it me."

Notwithstanding, the mother of the child said, "As sure as the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee." And then he arose and followed her.

And he called Gehazi and said, "Call for this Shunammite." And he called her. And when she was come to him, he said, "Take thy son."

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

And the Damsel said unto her lady, "I would my master were with a prophet that is in Samaria: he would deliver him of his leprosy."

And she went and told her husband, saying, "Thus and thus sayeth the maid that is out of the land of Israel."

Then said the king to her, "What aileth thee?" And she answered, "This woman here said to me, 'Bring thy son and let us eat him today, and we will eat mine tomorrow.'

And so we dressed my son and did eat him. And I said to her another day, 'Bring thy son that we may eat him.' But she hath hid her son."

And there were four lepers set without the gate of Samaria. And they said each to his companion, "What sit we here until we die?

Though we thought that we might come into the city, yet is the dearth so great in the city, that we shall there die. And if we tarry here, we are but dead also. Now therefore come, and let us flee to the Host of the Syrians. If they save our lives, we shall live; and if they kill us, then are we dead."

And the woman arose and did after the saying of the man of God, and went both she and her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.

And at the seven years' end, when the woman was come again out of the land of the Philistines she went out to speak to the king for her house and for her land.

And it chanced, as he was telling the king how he restored a dead body to life again, that the woman whose son he revived, cried to the king for her house and her land. Then said Gehazi, "My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son which Elisha brought to life again."

And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And so the king sent with her one of his chamberlains saying, "Restore all that pertaineth to her, with all the fruits of the field, since the day she left the land, unto this time."

And as for Jezebel, the dogs shall eat her in the field of Jezreel, and none shall bury her.'" And he opened the door and fled.

And when Jehoram saw Jehu, he said, "Is it peace Jehu?" And he said, "What peace should there be, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts are so great?"

And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and starched her eyes and attired her head and looked out at a window.

And he said, "Throw her down." And they threw her down. And he sprinkled of her blood upon the walls and on the horses, and trod her under foot.

And then when he was come in and had eaten and drunk, he said, "Go and visit, I pray you, yonder cursed creature; and bury her, for she is a king's daughter."

And when they came to bury her, they found no more of her, than the skull and the two feet and the two hands.

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

And Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah, when she saw that her son was dead, she arose and slew all the seed of the king.

And he was with her, hid in the house of the LORD, six years. And Athaliah did reign over the land.

And when she saw the king stand by a pillar - as the manner was - and the singers and the trumpets by the king, and all the people of the land rejoicing, and the blowing of the trumpets, she rent her clothes and cried, "Treason! Treason!"

And Jehoiada the priest commanded the captains of the hundreds that had the rule of the host, and said to them, "Bring her without the wall. And if any follow her, let him die with the sword. For the priest said, "She may not be slain in the house of the LORD."

And they laid hands on her, and she went the way that the horses of the kings went out and was slain there.

If ye say unto me, 'We trust in the LORD our God' - Is not that he whose hill altars and other altars too, Hezekiah hath put down, and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, 'Bow yourselves before this altar here in Jerusalem'?

Furthermore Shaphan the scribe showed the king saying, "Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me here a book." And Shaphan read it before the king.

And Hilkiah the high priest and Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went unto Huldah the Prophetess, wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah the son of Harahas keeper of the robes - which Prophetess dwelt in Jerusalem in the second ward - and communed with her.
