17. But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the appointed time that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
18. And when the child was grown, it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19. And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a servant, Carry him to his mother.
20. And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon and then died.
21. Then she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door upon him and went out.
22. And calling her husband, she said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men and one of the asses that I may run to the man of God and come again.
23. And he said, Why must thou go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, Peace.
24. Then she caused the ass to be saddled and said to her servant, Lead and go forward; slack not the pace for me except I bid thee.
