1	Elisha Helps a Poor Widow One day the widow of one of the Lord's prophets said to Elisha, “You know that before my husband died, he was a follower of yours and a worshiper of the Lord. But he owed a man some money, and now that man is on his way to take my two sons as his slaves.”	Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.
2	“Maybe there's something I can do to help,” Elisha said. “What do you have in your house?” “Sir, I have nothing but a small bottle of olive oil.”	And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3	Elisha told her, “Ask your neighbors for their empty jars. And after you've borrowed as many as you can,	Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4	go home and shut the door behind you and your sons. Then begin filling the jars with oil and set each one aside as you fill it.”	And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
5	The woman left. Later, when she and her sons were back inside their house, the two sons brought her the jars, and she began filling them.	So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
6	At last, she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar.” “We don't have any more,” he answered, and the oil stopped flowing from the small bottle.	And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7	After she told Elisha what had happened, he said, “Sell the oil and use part of the money to pay what you owe the man. You and your sons can live on what is left.”	Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
8	Elisha Brings a Rich Woman's Son Back to Life Once, while Elisha was in the town of Shunem, he met a rich woman who invited him to her home for dinner. After that, whenever he was in Shunem, he would have a meal there with her and her husband.	And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9	Some time later the woman said to her husband, “I'm sure the man who comes here so often is a prophet of God.	And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
10	Why don't we build him a small room on the flat roof of our house? We can put a bed, a table and chair, and an oil lamp in it. Then whenever he comes, he can stay with us.”	Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11	The next time Elisha was in Shunem, he stopped at their house and went up to his room to rest.	And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
12	—	And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13	He said to his servant Gehazi, “This woman has been very helpful. Have her come up here to the roof for a moment.” She came, and Elisha told Gehazi to say to her, “You've gone to a lot of trouble for us, and we want to help you. Is there something we can request the king or army commander to do?” The woman answered, “With my relatives nearby, I have everything I need.”	And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14	“Then what can we do for her?” Elisha asked Gehazi. Gehazi replied, “I do know that her husband is old, and that she doesn't have a son.”	And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
15	“Ask her to come here again,” Elisha told his servant. He called for her, and she came and stood in the doorway of Elisha's room.	And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16	Elisha said to her, “Next year at this time, you'll be holding your own baby son in your arms.” “You're a man of God,” the woman replied. “Please don't lie to me.”	And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
17	But a few months later, the woman got pregnant. She gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised.	And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
18	One day while the boy was still young, he was out in the fields with his father, where the workers were harvesting the crops.	And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19	Suddenly he shouted, “My head hurts. It hurts a lot!” “Carry him back to his mother,” the father said to his servant.	And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
20	The servant picked up the boy and carried him to his mother. The boy lay on her lap all morning, and by noon he was dead.	And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
21	She carried him upstairs to Elisha's room and laid him across the bed. Then she walked out and shut the door behind her.	And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
22	The woman called to her husband, “I need to see the prophet. Let me use one of the donkeys. Send a servant along with me, and let me leave now, so I can get back quickly.”	And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23	“Why do you need to see him today?” her husband asked. “It's not the Sabbath or time for the New Moon Festival.” “That's all right,” she answered.	And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24	She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Let's go. And don't slow down unless I tell you to.”	Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25	She left at once for Mount Carmel to talk with Elisha. When Elisha saw her coming, he said, “Gehazi, look! It's the woman from Shunem.	So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
26	Run and meet her. And ask her if everything is all right with her and her family.” “Everything is fine,” she answered Gehazi.	Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.
27	But as soon as she got to the top of the mountain, she went over and grabbed Elisha by the feet. Gehazi started toward her to push her away, when Elisha said, “Leave her alone! Don't you see how sad she is? But the Lord hasn't told me why.”	And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28	The woman said, “Sir, I begged you not to get my hopes up, and I didn't even ask you for a son.”	Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29	“Gehazi, get ready and go to her house,” Elisha said. “Take along my walking stick, and when you get there, lay it on the boy's face. Don't stop to talk to anyone, even if they try to talk to you.”	Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30	But the boy's mother said to Elisha, “I swear by the living Lord and by your own life that I won't leave without you.” So Elisha got up and went with them.	And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31	Gehazi ran on ahead and laid Elisha's walking stick on the boy's face, but the boy didn't move or make a sound. Gehazi ran back to Elisha and said, “The boy didn't wake up.”	And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32	Elisha arrived at the woman's house and went straight to his room, where he saw the boy's body on his bed.	And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33	He walked in, shut the door, and prayed to the Lord.	He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.
34	Then he got on the bed and stretched out over the dead body, with his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hand on his hands. As he lay there, the boy's body became warm.	And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35	Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room, then he went back and leaned over the boy's body. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.	Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36	Elisha called out to Gehazi, “Ask the boy's mother to come here.” Gehazi did, and when she was at the door, Elisha said, “You can take your son.”	And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37	She came in and bowed down at Elisha's feet. Then she picked up her son and left.	Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
38	Elisha Makes Some Stew Taste Better Later, Elisha went back to Gilgal, where there was almost nothing to eat, because the crops had failed. One day while the prophets who lived there were meeting with Elisha, he said to his servant, “Prepare a big pot of stew for these prophets.”	And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39	One of them went out into the woods to gather some herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as much of its fruit as he could carry, but he didn't know that the fruit was very sour. When he got back, he cut up the fruit and put it in the stew.	And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew them not.
40	The stew was served, and when the prophets started eating it, they shouted, “Elisha, this stew tastes terrible! We can't eat it.”	So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.
41	“Bring me some flour,” Elisha said. He sprinkled the flour in the stew and said, “Now serve it to them.” And the stew tasted fine.	But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
42	Elisha Feeds One Hundred People A man from the town of Baal-Shalishah brought Elisha some freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of bread made from the first barley that was harvested. Elisha said, “Give it to the people so they can eat.”	And there came a man from Baal–shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto the people, that they may eat.
43	“There's not enough here for 100 people,” his servant said. “Just give it to them,” Elisha replied. “The Lord has promised there will be more than enough.”	And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.
44	So the servant served the bread and grain to the people. They ate and still had some left over, just as the Lord had promised.	So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.
