New King James Version (NKJV)

2 Kings 4
¹² Then he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite woman." When he had called her, she stood before him.
¹³ And he said to him, "Say now to her, ’Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’ " She answered, "I dwell among my own people."
¹⁴ So he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."
¹⁵ So he said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
¹⁶ Then he said, "About this time next year you shall embrace a son." And she said, "No, my lord. Man of God, do not lie to your maidservant!"
¹⁷ But the woman conceived, and bore a son when the appointed time had come, of which Elisha had told her.
¹⁸ And the child grew. Now it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.
¹⁹ And he said to his father, "My head, my head!" So he said to a servant, "Carry him to his mother."
²⁰ When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
²¹ And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him, and went out.
²² Then she called to her husband, and said, "Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come back."
