2 Kings 4:20-26 God's Word Translation (GW)

20. The servant picked him up and brought him to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, when he died.

21. She took him upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God, left ⌊the room⌋, and shut the door behind her.

22. She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys. I will go quickly to the man of God and come back again.”

23. Her husband asked, “Why are you going to him today? It isn’t a New Moon Festival or a day of worship.”But she said goodbye to him.

24. She saddled the donkey. Then she told her servant, “Lead on. Don’t slow down unless I tell you.”

25. So she came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.When he saw her coming at a distance, he told his servant Gehazi, “There is the woman from Shunem.

26. Run to meet her and ask her how she, her husband, and the boy are doing.”“Everyone’s fine,” she answered.
