So he departed ^H1980 from there ^H8033 and found ^H4672 Elisha ^H477 the son ^H1121 of Shaphat ^H8202 while he was plowing ^H2790, with twelve ^H8147 H6240 yoke ^H6776 of oxen in front ^H6440 of him, and he with the twelfth ^H8147 H6240. And Elijah ^H452 came ^H5674 over ^H5674 to him and threw ^H7993 his cloak ^H155 on him.

Now it came ^H1961 about ^H1961, when the LORD ^H3068 was about to bring ^H5927 Elijah ^H452 up ^H5927 by a [fn]whirlwind ^H5591 to heaven ^H8064, that Elijah ^H452 left ^H1980 H4480 Gilgal ^H1537 with Elisha ^H477.

When they had crossed ^H5674 over ^H5674, Elijah ^H452 said ^H559 to Elisha ^H477, “Ask ^H7592 me what ^H4100 I should do ^H6213 for you before ^H2962 I am taken ^H3947 from you.” And Elisha ^H477 said ^H559, “Please ^H4994 let a double ^H8147 portion ^H6310 of your spirit ^H7307 be upon me.”

Then the men ^H376 of the city ^H5892 said ^H559 to Elisha ^H477, “Behold ^H2009 now, the site ^H4186 of the city ^H5892 is pleasant ^H2896, as my lord ^H113 sees ^H7200; but the water ^H4325 is bad ^H7451 and the land ^H776 [fn]is ^H7921 unfruitful ^H7921.”

Now Elisha ^H477 said ^H559 to the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478, “[fn]What ^H4100 business do you have with me? Go ^H1980 to your father’s ^H1 prophets ^H5030 and your mother’s ^H517 prophets ^H5030.” But the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 said ^H559 to him, “No ^H408, for the LORD ^H3068 has called ^H7121 these ^H428 three ^H7969 kings ^H4428 together to hand ^H5414 H3027 them over ^H5414 to Moab ^H4124.”

Now a woman ^H802 of the wives ^H802 of the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 cried ^H6817 out ^H6817 to Elisha ^H477, saying ^H559, “Your servant ^H5650 my husband ^H376 is dead ^H4191, and you know ^H3045 that your servant ^H5650 feared ^H3372 the LORD ^H3068; and the creditor ^H5383 has come ^H935 to take ^H3947 my two ^H8147 children ^H3206 to be his slaves ^H5650.”

Now a day ^H3117 came ^H1961 when Elisha ^H477 went ^H5674 over ^H5674 to Shunem ^H7766, where ^H8033 there was a [fn]prominent ^H1419 woman ^H802, and she urged ^H2388 him to eat ^H398 [fn]food ^H3899. And so it was, as often ^H1767 as he passed ^H5674 by ^H5674, that he turned ^H5493 in ^H5493 there ^H8033 to eat ^H398 [fn]food ^H3899.

Now the woman ^H802 conceived ^H2029 and gave ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to a son ^H1121 at that season ^H4150 [fn]the next ^H2416 year ^H6256, as Elisha ^H477 had told ^H1696 her.

When Elisha ^H477 entered ^H935 the house ^H1004, behold ^H2009 the boy ^H5288 was dead ^H4191, laid ^H7901 on his bed ^H4296.

When Elisha ^H477 returned ^H7725 to Gilgal ^H1537, there was a famine ^H7458 in the land ^H776. [fn]As the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 were sitting ^H3427 in front ^H6440 of him, he said ^H559 to his servant ^H5288, “Put ^H8239 on the large ^H1419 pot ^H5518 and boil ^H1310 stew ^H5138 for the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030.”

Now it happened ^H1961, when Elisha ^H477 the man ^H376 of God ^H430 heard ^H8085 that the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 had torn ^H7167 his clothes ^H899, that he sent ^H7971 word to the king ^H4428, saying ^H559, “Why ^H4100 did you tear ^H7167 your clothes ^H899? Just ^H4994 have him come ^H935 to me, and he shall learn ^H3045 that there ^H3426 is ^H3426 a prophet ^H5030 in Israel ^H3478.”

But Gehazi ^H1522, the servant ^H5288 of Elisha ^H477 the man ^H376 of God ^H430, [fn]thought ^H559, “Behold ^H2009, my master ^H113 has spared ^H2820 this ^H2088 Naaman ^H5283 the Aramean ^H761, [fn]by not accepting ^H3947 from his hand ^H3027 what ^H834 he brought ^H935. As the LORD ^H3068 lives ^H2416, I will run ^H7323 after ^H310 him and take ^H3947 something ^H3972 from him.”

Now the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 said ^H559 to Elisha ^H477, “Behold ^H2009 now ^H4994, the place ^H4725 [fn]before ^H6440 you where ^H834 H8033 we are living ^H3427 is too ^H4480 cramped ^H6862 for us.

Then Elisha ^H477 said ^H559, “Listen ^H8085 to the word ^H1697 of the LORD ^H3068; this ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559: ‘About this time ^H6256 tomorrow ^H4279 a [fn]measure ^H5429 of fine ^H5560 flour ^H5560 will be sold for a shekel ^H8255, and two measures ^H5429 of barley ^H8184 for a shekel ^H8255, at the gate ^H8179 of Samaria ^H8111.’”

Now Elisha ^H477 spoke ^H1696 to the woman ^H802 whose ^H834 son ^H1121 he had restored ^H2421 to ^H2421 life ^H2421, saying ^H559, “Arise ^H6965 and go ^H1980 [fn]with your household ^H1004, and live ^H1481 wherever ^H834 you can live ^H1481; for the LORD ^H3068 has called ^H7121 for a famine ^H7458, and it will indeed ^H1571 come ^H935 on the land ^H776 for seven ^H7651 years ^H8141.”

Then Elisha ^H477 came ^H935 to Damascus ^H1834. Now Ben-hadad ^H1130, the king ^H4428 of Aram ^H758, was ^H2470 sick ^H2470, and it was told ^H5046 to him, saying ^H559, “The man ^H376 of God ^H430 has come ^H935 here ^H5704 H2008.”

Now Elisha ^H477 the prophet ^H5030 summoned ^H7121 one ^H259 of the sons ^H1121 of the prophets ^H5030 and said ^H559 to him, “[fn]Get ^H2296 H4975 ready ^H2296 H4975 and take ^H3947 this ^H2088 flask ^H6378 of oil ^H8081 in your hand ^H3027, and go ^H1980 to Ramoth-gilead ^H7433.

When Elisha ^H477 [fn]became ^H2470 sick ^H2470 with the illness ^H2483 of which ^H834 he was to die ^H4191, Joash ^H3060 the king ^H4428 of Israel ^H3478 came ^H3381 down ^H3381 to him, and wept ^H1058 over ^H5921 [fn]him and said ^H559, “My father ^H1, my father ^H1, the chariots ^H7393 of Israel ^H3478 and its horsemen ^H6571!”
