1: And womanH0802 aH0259 of the wivesH0802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 cried outH6817 toH0413 Elisha,H0477 saying,H0559 Your servantH5650 my husbandH0376 is dead-H4191 and youH0859 knowH3045 thatH3588 your servantH5650 didH1961 fearedH3372 -H0853 Yahweh-H3068 and the creditorH5383 is comingH0935 to takeH3947 -H0853 twoH8147 my sonsH3206 slaves.H5650

2: So saidH0559 to herH0413 ElishaH0477 whatH4100 shall I doH6213 TellH5046 whatH4100 do haveH3426 in the house?H1004 and she said,H0559 has nothingH0369 Your maidservantH8198 anyH3605 in the house,H1004 exceptH3588 butH0518 a jarH0610 of oil.H8081

3: And he said,H0559 go,H1980 borrowH7592 vesselsH3627 fromH4480 everywhereH2351 fromH0853 allH3605 your neighbors,H7934 vessels-H3627 emptyH7386 notH0408 do gather just a few.H4591

4: And when you have come in,H0935 and you shall shutH5462 the doorH1817 behind youH1157 andH1157 your sons,H1121 then pour itH3332 intoH5921 allH3605 vessels,H3627 theseH0428 and the full onesH4392 set aside.H5265

5: So she wentH1980 from himH0853 and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behind herH1157 andH1157 her sons,H1121 theyH1992 brought [the vessels]H5066 to herH0413 and sheH1931 poured [it] out.H3332

6: And it came to pass,H1961 when were full,H4390 the vesselsH3627 that she saidH0559 toH0413 her son,H1121 bringH5066 meH0413 anotherH5750 vessel.H3627 And he saidH0559 to herH0413 [There is] notH0369 another.H5750 VesselH3627 so ceasedH5975 the oil.H8081

7: And she cameH0935 and toldH5046 the manH0376 of God.H0430 And he said,H0559 go,H1980 sellH4376 -H0853 the oil,H8081 and payH7999 -H0853 your debt,H5386 and youH0859 [and] your sonsH1121 liveH2421 on the rest.H3498

8: And it came to passH1961 one day,H3117 that wentH5674 ElishaH0477 toH0413 Shunem,H7766 and where thereH8033 [was] a woman-H0802 notableH1419 and she persuadedH2388 to eatH0398 some food.H3899 So it was,H1961 as often asH1767 he passed by,H5674 he would turn inH5493 thereH8033 to eatH0398 some food.H3899

9: And she saidH0559 toH0413 her husband,H0376 LookH2009 now,H4994 I knowH3045 thatH3588 a manH0376 of God,H0430 holyH6918 he [is]H1931 who passesH5674 by usH5921 regularly.H8548

10: Let us makeH6213 please,H4994 a upper room,H5944 on the wall-H7023 smallH6996 and let us putH7760 thereH8033 a bed,H4296 and a table,H7979 and a chair,H3678 and a lampstand-H4501 so it will be,H1961 whenever he comesH0935 to usH0413 he can turn inH5493 there.H8033

11: And it came to passH1961 one day,H3117 that he cameH0935 there,H8033 and he turnedH5493 in toH0413 the upper room,H5944 and lay downH7901 there.H8033

12: And he saidH0559 toH0413 GehaziH1522 his servant,H5288 CallH7121 woman Shunammitess.H7767 ThisH2063 and when he had calledH7121 and she stoodH5975 before him.H6440

13: And he saidH0559 SayH0559 nowH4994 to herH0413 Look,H2009 you have been concernedH2729 for usH0413 withH0854 allH3605 care-H2731 thisH2063 whatH4100 [can I] doH6213 do you want meH3426 to speak onH1696 toH0413 the king,H4428 orH0176 toH0413 the commanderH8269 of the army?H6635 and she answered,H0559 amongH8432 my own peopleH5971 IH0595 dwell.H3427

14: So he said,H0559 then what [is]H4100 to be doneH6213 and answered,H0559 GehaziH1522 TrulyH0061 son,H1121 noH0369 and her husbandH0376 is old.H2204

15: So he said,H0559 CallH7121 and when he had calledH7121 and she stoodH5975 in the doorway.H6607

16: And he said,H0559 About next year,H4150 thisH2088 timeH6256 of life,H2416 youH0859 shall embraceH2263 a son.H1121 And she said,H0559 No,H0408 my lord,H0113 ManH0376 of God,H0430 notH0408 do lieH3576 to your maidservant.H8198

17: But conceived,H2029 the womanH0802 and boreH3205 a sonH1121 when appointedH4150 thisH2088 the time had comeH6256 of life.H2416 Of whichH0834 had toldH1696 herH0413 Elisha.H0477

18: And grew,H1431 the childH3206 and it came to passH1961 one day,H3117 that he went outH3318 toH0413 his fatherH0001 toH0413 the reapers.H7114

19: And he saidH0559 toH0413 his father,H0001 My head,H7218 my head.H7218 So he saidH0559 toH0413 a servant,H5288 Carry himH5375 toH0413 his mother.H0517

20: And when he had taken himH5375 and brought himH0935 toH0413 his mother,H0517 and he satH3427 onH5921 her kneesH1290 tillH5704 noon,H6672 and [then] died.H4191

21: And she went up,H5927 and laid himH7901 onH5921 the bedH4296 of the manH0376 of God,H0430 and shut [the door]H5462 upon himH1157 and went out.H3318

22: And she calledH7121 toH0413 her husband,H0376 and said,H0559 sendH7971 please,H4994 oneH0259 ofH4480 the young men,H5288 and oneH0259 of the donkeys,H0860 that I may runH7323 toH5704 the manH0376 of God,H0430 and come back.H7725

23: So he said,H0559 whyH4069 [are] youH0859 goingH1980 to himH0413 today?H3117 [it is] neitherH3808 the New Moon,H2320 norH3808 the Sabbath.H7676 And she said,H0559 [it is] well.H7965

24: And she saddledH2280 a donkey,H0860 and saidH0559 toH0413 her servant,H5288 Drive,H5090 and go forward-H1980 notH0408 do slackenH6113 the paceH7392 forH3588 unlessH0518 I tellH0559

25: And so she departedH1980 and wentH0935 toH0413 the manH0376 of GodH0430 atH0413 MountH2022 Carmel.H3760 So it was,H1961 when sawH7200 the manH0376 of GodH0430 herH0853 afar off,H5048 that he saidH0559 toH0413 GehaziH1522 his servant,H5288 Look,H2009 ShunammitessH7767 this.H1975

26: Now,H6258 runH7323 please,H4994 to meet herH7125 and sayH0559 [is it] wellH7965 [is it] wellH7965 with your husband?H0376 [is it] wellH7965 with the child?H3206 and she answered,H0559 [it is] well.H7965

27: And when she cameH0935 toH0413 the manH0376 of GodH0430 atH0413 the hill,H2022 and she caughtH2388 by him the feet.H7272 But came nearH5066 GehaziH1522 to push her away.H1920 But said,H0559 the manH0376 of GodH0430 let alone-H7503 forH3588 her soulH5315 mistreatedH4843 and YahwehH3069 has hidden [it]H5956 from meH4480 and notH3808 has toldH5046

28: So she said,H0559 did I askH7592 a sonH1121 ofH0853 my lord?H0113 did notH3808 I say,H0559 notH3808 do deceiveH7952 me.H0853

29: And he saidH0559 to Gehazi,H1522 Get readyH2296 yourself,H4975 and takeH3947 my staffH4938 in your hand,H3027 and be on your way-H1980 ifH3588 you meetH4672 anyone,H0376 not-H3808 do greet himH1288 and ifH3588 greets youH1288 anyoneH0376 notH3808 do answer himH6030 but layH7760 my staffH4938 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the child.H5288

30: And said,H0559 the motherH0517 of the childH5288 [As] lives,H2416 YahwehH3068 and [as] lives,H2416 your soulH5315 notH0518 I will leave youH5800 so he arose,H6965 and followedH1980 her.H0310

31: And GehaziH1522 went onH5674 ahead of themH6440 and laidH7760 -H0853 the staffH4938 onH5921 the faceH6440 of the child-H5288 but [there was] noH0369 voice,H6963 and noH0369 hearing.H7182 Therefore he went backH7725 to meet himH7125 and toldH5046 saying,H0559 notH3808 has awakenedH6974 the child.H5288

32: And when cameH0935 ElishaH0477 into the house,H1004 and there was,H2009 the childH5288 dead,H4191 lyingH7901 onH5921 his bed.H4296

33: Therefore He went inH0935 and shutH5462 the doorH1817 behindH1157 the two of them,H8147 and prayedH6419 toH0413 Yahweh.H3068

34: And he went up,H5927 and layH7901 onH5921 the child,H3206 and putH7760 his mouthH6310 onH5921 his mouth,H6310 and his eyesH5869 onH5921 his eyes,H5869 and his handsH3709 onH5921 his hands,H3709 and he stretched outH1457 himself on the childH5921 and became warmH2552 the fleshH1320 of the child.H3206

35: And He returned,H7725 and walkedH1980 in the houseH1004 one-H0259 hereH2008 and oneH0259 hereH2008 and again went up,H5927 and stretched outH1457 himself on himH5921 then sneezedH2237 the childH5288 sneezedH5704 sevenH7651 times,H6471 and openedH6491 the childH5288 -H0853 his eyes.H5869

36: And he calledH7121 in untoH0413 Gehazi,H1522 and said,H0559 CallH7121 CallH0413 Shunammitess.H7767 ThisH2063 so he called herH7121 and when she came inH0935 to himH0413 and he said,H0559 Pick upH5375 your son.H1121

37: So she went in,H0935 and fellH5307 atH5921 his feet,H7272 and bowedH7812 to the ground,H0776 then she picked upH5375 -H0853 her son,H1121 and went out.H3318

38: And ElishaH0477 returnedH7725 to Gilgal,H1537 and [there was] a famineH7458 in the land-H0776 and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 [were] sittingH3427 before himH6440 and he saidH0559 to his servant,H5288 Put onH8239 the pot,H5518 largeH1419 and boilH1310 stewH5138 for the sonsH1121 of the prophets.H5030

39: So went outH3318 oneH0259 intoH0413 the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbs,H0219 and foundH4672 a vine,H1612 wildH7704 and gatheredH3950 from itH4480 gourdsH6498 wildH7704 full,H4393 a lapfulH0899 and cameH0935 and sliced [them]H6398 intoH0413 the potH5518 of stew,H5138 thoughH3588 notH3808 they did know [what they were].H3045

40: And they served itH3332 to menH0376 to eat.H0398 And it came to pass,H1961 as they were eatingH0398 the stew,H5138 that theyH1992 cried out,H6817 and said,H0559 [there is] deathH4194 in the pot.H5518 ManH0376 of God,H0430 and notH3808 they couldH3201 eat [it].H0398

41: So he said,H0559 and bringH3947 some flour.H7058 And he put [it]H7993 intoH0413 the pot-H5518 and said,H0559 Serve [it]H3332 to the people,H5971 that they may eat.H0398 And nothingH3808 there wasH1961 harmH1697 harmfulH7451 in the pot.H5518

42: And a manH0376 cameH0935 Baal ShalishaH1190 and broughtH0935 the manH0376 of GodH0430 breadH3899 of the firstfruits,H1061 twentyH6242 loavesH3899 of barley bread,H8184 and newly ripened grainH3759 in his knapsackH6861 and he said,H0559 Give [it]H5414 to the people,H5971 that they may eat.H0398

43: But said,H0559 his servantH8334 what,H4100 shall I setH5414 thisH2088 beforeH6440 a hundredH3967 men?H0376 and He said againH0559 Give itH5414 to the people,H5971 that they may eat,H0398 forH3588 thusH3541 saysH0559 Yahweh,H3068 they shall eat,H0398 and have [some] left over.H3498

44: So he set [it]H5414 before themH6440 and they ate,H0398 and had [some] left overH3498 according to the wordH1697 of Yahweh.H3068
