10. Please, let’s make a little walled room on the roof, and let’s put there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lampstand for him. Then whenever he comes to us, he can stay there.”
11. One day he came there, and retired to the upper chamber and lay down there.
12. Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
13. He said to him, “Tell her: Behold, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can be done for you? Can something be communicated to the king or to the commander of the army for you?” She answered, “I am living among my own people.”
14. So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” Then Gehazi answered, “In fact, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15. “Call her,” he said. And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
16. Then he said, “At this season next year, you will be embracing a son.” But she said, “No, my lord, do not lie to your handmaid, man of God.”
17. Nevertheless, the woman conceived and bore a son during that season the following year, just as Elisha had told her.
18. Now when the child was grown, one day he went out to his father among the reapers.
19. Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
