23. The husband said, “Why do you want to go to him today? It isn’t the New Moon or the Sabbath day.”She said, “It will be all right.”
24. Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on. Don’t slow down for me unless I tell you.”
25. So she went to Elisha, the man of God, at Mount Carmel.When he saw her coming from far away, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there’s the Shunammite woman!
26. Run to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the boy all right?’ ”She answered, “Everything is all right.”
27. Then she came to Elisha at the hill and grabbed his feet. Gehazi came near to pull her away, but Elisha said to him, “Leave her alone. She’s very upset, and the Lord has not told me about it. He has hidden it from me.”
28. She said, “Master, did I ask you for a son? Didn’t I tell you not to lie to me?”
29. Then Elisha said to Gehazi, “Get ready. Take my walking stick in your hand and go quickly. If you meet anyone, don’t say hello. If anyone greets you, don’t respond. Lay my walking stick on the boy’s face.”
30. The boy’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I won’t leave you!” So Elisha got up and followed her.
