15. And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the petach (doorway).
16. And he said, About this mo'ed, according to the et chayyah (Gen. 18:10), thou choveket ben (shalt embrace a son). And she said, No, adoni, thou Ish HaElohim, do not give false hope unto thine shifchah.
17. And the isha conceived, and bore ben at that mo'ed that Elishah had said unto her, according to the et chayyah.
18. The yeled grew, and it happened one day, that he went out to Aviv to the kotzerim (harvesters, reapers).
19. And he said unto Aviv, My rosh, my rosh. And he said to the na'ar, Carry him to immo.
20. And when he had lifted him, and brought him to immo, he sat on her birkayim (knees) till tzohorayim, and then died.
21. And she went up, and laid him on the mittat Ish HaElohim, and shut [the door] behind her and went out.
22. And she called unto her ish, and said, Send me now, please, one of the ne'arim, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the Ish HaElohim, and return.
23. And he said, Madu'a (why) wilt thou go to him today? It is neither Rosh Chodesh, nor Shabbos. And she said, Shalom.
24. Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her na'ar, lead on, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25. So she went and came unto the Ish HaElohim at Mt Carmel. And it came to pass, when the Ish HaElohim saw her afar off, that he said to Geichazi his na'ar, Hinei, over there is that Shunamit:
26. Run now, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it shalom with thee? Is it shalom with thy ish? Is it shalom with the yeled? And she answered, Shalom:
27. And when she came to the Ish HaElohim at the har, she took hold of him by the raglayim: but Geichazi came near to thrust her away. And the Ish HaElohim said, Let her alone; for her nefesh is marah within her: and Hashem hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28. Then she said, Did I make request of adoni for a ben? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29. Then he said to Geichazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my mishe'net (staff) in thine yad, and run: if thou meet any ish, salute him not; and if any ish salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my mishe'net (staff) upon the face of the na'ar.
30. And the em hana'ar said, As Hashem liveth, and as thy nefesh liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31. And Geichazi passed on ahead of them, and laid the mishe'net (staff) upon the face of the na'ar; but there was neither kol (voice), nor keshet (attention). So he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, The na'ar is not awakened.
32. And when Elishah was come into the bais, hinei, the na'ar was dead, and lying upon his mittah.
