2 Kings 4:16-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

16. And he said, About this season, next year, you shall embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, you man of God, do not lie unto your handmaid.

17. And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that time that Elisha had said unto her, according to the appointed time.

18. And when the child was grown, on a certain day, 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 lad, Carry him to his mother.

20. And 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, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22. And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray you, one of the young men, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.

23. And he said, Why will you go to him today? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
