2 Kings 4:11-15 Common English Bible (CEB)

11. So one day Elisha came there, headed to the room on the roof, and lay down.

12. He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite woman." Gehazi called her, and she stood before him.

13. Elisha then said to Gehazi, "Say to her, ‘Look, you’ve gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Is there anything I can say on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’"She said, "I’m content to live at home with my own people."

14. Elisha asked, "So what can be done for her?"Gehazi said, "Well, she doesn’t have a son, and her husband is old."

15. Elisha said, "Call her." So Gehazi called her, and she stood at the door.
