3. Then he said, "Go, borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors, even empty vessels; do not get a few.
4. And you shall go in and shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour out into all these vessels, and you shall set aside what is full."
5. So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons; they were bringing the vessels to her and she poured.
6. When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not one vessel more." And the oil stopped.
7. Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
8. Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.
9. She said to her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually.
10. Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there."
11. One day he came there and turned in to the upper chamber and rested.
12. Then he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13. He said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have been careful for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the army?'" And she answered, "I live among my own people."
14. So he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "Truly she has no son and her husband is old."
15. He said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
16. Then he said, "At this season next year you will embrace a son." And she said, "No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant."
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."
