2 Kings 4 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

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

Now it happened that one day ^H3117 he came ^H935 there ^H8033 and turned ^H5493 in ^H5493 to the upper ^H5944 chamber ^H5944, and there ^H8033 he [fn]lay ^H7901 down.

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

Then the child ^H3206 was grown ^H1431. And the day ^H3117 came ^H1961 that he went ^H3318 out ^H3318 to his father ^H1 to the reapers ^H7114.

Now it happened that when the man ^H376 of God ^H430 saw ^H7200 her at a distance ^H4480 H5048, he said ^H559 to Gehazi ^H1522 his young ^H5288 man ^H5288, “Behold ^H2009, [fn]there ^H1975 is the Shunammite ^H7767.

Then he said ^H559 to Gehazi ^H1522, “Gird ^H2296 up your loins ^H4975 and take ^H3947 my staff ^H4938 in your hand ^H3027, and go ^H1980; if ^H3588 you meet ^H4672 anyone ^H376, do not [fn]greet ^H1288 him, and if ^H3588 anyone ^H376 [fn]greets ^H1288 you, do not answer ^H6030 him; and lay ^H7760 my staff ^H4938 on the boy’s ^H5288 face ^H6440.”

Then Elisha ^H477 came ^H935 into the house ^H1004, and behold ^H2009, the boy ^H5288 was dead ^H4191 and laid ^H7901 on his bed ^H4296.

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

Now a man ^H376 came ^H935 from Baal-shalishah ^H1190, and brought ^H935 the man ^H376 of God ^H430 bread ^H3899 of the first ^H1061 fruits ^H1061, twenty ^H6242 loaves ^H3899 of barley ^H8184 and fresh ^H3759 ears ^H3759 of grain ^H3759 in his sack ^H6861. And he said ^H559, “Give ^H5414 them to the people ^H5971 that they may eat ^H398.”
