17. The woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had said to her.
18. When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19. He said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
20. When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then died.
21. She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door behind him and went out.
22. Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and return."
23. He said, "Why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath." And she said, "It will be well."
24. Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, "Drive and go forward; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."
25. So she went and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.
26. Please run now to meet her and say to her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."
27. When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me."
28. Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?"
