14 So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.
15 Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.
16 And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.
17 Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.
18 Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.
19 And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.
20 And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.
