Now there criedH6817 a certainH259 womanH802 of the wivesH802 of the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 unto ElishaH477, sayingH559, Thy servantH5650 my husbandH376 is deadH4191; and thou knowestH3045 that thy servantH5650 did fearH3373 the LORDH3068: and the creditorH5383 is comeH935 to takeH3947 unto him my twoH8147 sonsH3206 to be bondmenH5650.
And ElishaH477 saidH559 unto her, What shall I doH6213 for thee? tellH5046 me, what hastH3426 thou in the houseH1004? And she saidH559, Thine handmaidH8198 hath not any thing in the houseH1004, save a potH610 of oilH8081.
Then he saidH559, GoH3212, borrowH7592 thee vesselsH3627 abroadH2351 of all thy neighboursH7934, even emptyH7386 vesselsH3627; borrow not a fewH4591. {borrow not…: or, scant not}
And when thou art come inH935, thou shalt shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon thee and upon thy sonsH1121, and shalt pour outH3332 into all those vesselsH3627, and thou shalt set asideH5265 that which is fullH4392.
So she wentH3212 from him, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon her and uponH1157 her sonsH1121, whoH1992 broughtH5066 the vessels to her; and she poured outH3332.
And it came to pass, when the vesselsH3627 were fullH4390, that she saidH559 unto her sonH1121, BringH5066 me yet a vesselH3627. And he saidH559 unto her, There is not a vesselH3627 more. And the oilH8081 stayedH5975.
Then she cameH935 and toldH5046 the manH376 of GodH430. And he saidH559, GoH3212, sellH4376 the oilH8081, and payH7999 thy debtH5386, and liveH2421 thou and thy childrenH1121 of the restH3498. {debt: or, creditor}
And it fell on a dayH3117, that ElishaH477 passedH5674 to ShunemH7766, where was a greatH1419 womanH802; and she constrainedH2388 him to eatH398 breadH3899. And so it was, that as oftH1767 as he passed byH5674, he turnedH5493 in thither to eatH398 breadH3899. {it fell on a day: Heb. there was a day} {constrained him: Heb. laid hold on him}
And she saidH559 unto her husbandH376, Behold now, I perceiveH3045 that this is an holyH6918 manH376 of GodH430, which passethH5674 by us continuallyH8548.
Let us makeH6213 a littleH6996 chamberH5944, I pray thee, on the wallH7023; and let us setH7760 for him there a bedH4296, and a tableH7979, and a stoolH3678, and a candlestickH4501: and it shall be, when he comethH935 to us, that he shall turnH5493 in thither.
And it fell on a dayH3117, that he cameH935 thither, and he turnedH5493 into the chamberH5944, and layH7901 there.
And he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, CallH7121 this ShunammiteH7767. And when he had calledH7121 her, she stoodH5975 beforeH6440 him.
And he saidH559 unto him, SayH559 now unto her, Behold, thou hast been carefulH2729 for us with all this careH2731; what is to be doneH6213 for thee? wouldestH3426 thou be spokenH1696 for to the kingH4428, or to the captainH8269 of the hostH6635? And she answeredH559, I dwellH3427 amongH8432 mine own peopleH5971.
And he saidH559, What then is to be doneH6213 for her? And GehaziH1522 answeredH559, VerilyH61 she hath no childH1121, and her husbandH376 is oldH2204.
And he saidH559, CallH7121 her. And when he had calledH7121 her, she stoodH5975 in the doorH6607.
And he saidH559, About this seasonH4150, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416, thou shalt embraceH2263 a sonH1121. And she saidH559, Nay, my lordH113, thou manH376 of GodH430, do not lieH3576 unto thine handmaidH8198. {season: Heb. set time}
And the womanH802 conceivedH2029, and bareH3205 a sonH1121 at that seasonH4150 that ElishaH477 had saidH1696 unto her, according to the timeH6256 of lifeH2416.
And when the childH3206 was grownH1431, it fell on a dayH3117, that he went outH3318 to his fatherH1 to the reapersH7114.
And he saidH559 unto his fatherH1, My headH7218, my headH7218. And he saidH559 to a ladH5288, CarryH5375 him to his motherH517.
And when he had takenH5375 him, and broughtH935 him to his motherH517, he satH3427 on her kneesH1290 till noonH6672, and then diedH4191.
And she went upH5927, and laidH7901 him on the bedH4296 of the manH376 of GodH430, and shutH5462 the door upon him, and went outH3318.
And she calledH7121 unto her husbandH376, and saidH559, SendH7971 me, I pray thee, oneH259 of the young menH5288, and oneH259 of the assesH860, that I may runH7323 to the manH376 of GodH430, and come againH7725.
And he saidH559, Wherefore wilt thou goH1980 to him to dayH3117? it is neither new moonH2320, nor sabbathH7676. And she saidH559, It shall be wellH7965. {well: Heb. peace}
Then she saddledH2280 an assH860, and saidH559 to her servantH5288, DriveH5090, and go forwardH3212; slackH6113 not thy ridingH7392 for me, except I bidH559 thee. {slack…: Heb. restrain not for me to ride}
So she wentH3212 and cameH935 unto the manH376 of GodH430 to mountH2022 CarmelH3760. And it came to pass, when the manH376 of GodH430 saw her afar offH7200, that he saidH559 to GehaziH1522 his servantH5288, Behold, yonder is thatH1975 ShunammiteH7767:
RunH7323 now, I pray thee, to meetH7125 her, and sayH559 unto her, Is it wellH7965 with thee? is it wellH7965 with thy husbandH376? is it wellH7965 with the childH3206? And she answeredH559, It is wellH7965.
And when she cameH935 to the manH376 of GodH430 to the hillH2022, she caughtH2388 him by the feetH7272: but GehaziH1522 came nearH5066 to thrust her awayH1920. And the manH376 of GodH430 saidH559, Let her aloneH7503; for her soulH5315 is vexedH4843 within her: and the LORDH3068 hath hidH5956 it from me, and hath not toldH5046 me. {him…: Heb. by his feet} {vexed: Heb. bitter}
Then she saidH559, Did I desireH7592 a sonH1121 of my lordH113? did I not sayH559, Do not deceiveH7952 me?
Then he saidH559 to GehaziH1522, Gird upH2296 thy loinsH4975, and takeH3947 my staffH4938 in thine handH3027, and go thy wayH3212: if thou meetH4672 any manH376, saluteH1288 him not; and if anyH376 saluteH1288 thee, answer him not againH6030: and layH7760 my staffH4938 upon the faceH6440 of the childH5288.
And the motherH517 of the childH5288 saidH559, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, and as thy soulH5315 livethH2416, I will not leaveH5800 thee. And he aroseH6965, and followedH3212+H310 her.
And GehaziH1522 passed onH5674 beforeH6440 them, and laidH7760 the staffH4938 upon the faceH6440 of the childH5288; but there was neither voiceH6963, nor hearingH7182. Wherefore he went againH7725 to meetH7125 him, and toldH5046 him, sayingH559, The childH5288 is not awakedH6974. {hearing: Heb. attention}
And when ElishaH477 was comeH935 into the houseH1004, behold, the childH5288 was deadH4191, and laidH7901 upon his bedH4296.
He went inH935 therefore, and shutH5462 the doorH1817 upon them twainH8147, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068.
And he went upH5927, and layH7901 upon the childH3206, and putH7760 his mouthH6310 upon his mouthH6310, and his eyesH5869 upon his eyesH5869, and his handsH3709 upon his handsH3709: and he stretchedH1457 himself upon the child; and the fleshH1320 of the childH3206 waxed warmH2552.
Then he returnedH7725, and walkedH3212 in the houseH1004 toH259+H2008 and froH259+H2008; and went upH5927, and stretchedH1457 himself upon him: and the childH5288 sneezedH2237 sevenH7651 timesH6471, and the childH5288 openedH6491 his eyesH5869. {to and fro: Heb. once hither and once thither}
And he calledH7121 GehaziH1522, and saidH559, CallH7121 this ShunammiteH7767. So he calledH7121 her. And when she was come inH935 unto him, he saidH559, Take upH5375 thy sonH1121.
Then she went inH935, and fellH5307 at his feetH7272, and bowedH7812 herself to the groundH776, and took upH5375 her sonH1121, and went outH3318.
And ElishaH477 came againH7725 to GilgalH1537: and there was a dearthH7458 in the landH776; and the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 were sittingH3427 beforeH6440 him: and he saidH559 unto his servantH5288, SetH8239 on the greatH1419 potH5518, and seetheH1310 pottageH5138 for the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030.
And oneH259 went outH3318 into the fieldH7704 to gatherH3950 herbsH219, and foundH4672 a wildH7704 vineH1612, and gatheredH3950 thereof wildH7704 gourdsH6498 his lapH899 fullH4393, and cameH935 and shredH6398 them into the potH5518 of pottageH5138: for they knewH3045 them not.
So they poured outH3332 for the menH582 to eatH398. And it came to pass, as they were eatingH398 of the pottageH5138, that they cried outH6817, and saidH559, O thou manH376 of GodH430, there is deathH4194 in the potH5518. And they couldH3201 not eatH398 thereof.
But he saidH559, Then bringH3947 mealH7058. And he castH7993 it into the potH5518; and he saidH559, Pour outH3332 for the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. And there was no harmH1697+H7451 in the potH5518. {harm: Heb. evil thing}
And there cameH935 a manH376 from BaalshalishaH1190, and broughtH935 the manH376 of GodH430 breadH3899 of the firstfruitsH1061, twentyH6242 loavesH3899 of barleyH8184, and full ears of cornH3759 in the huskH6861 thereof. And he saidH559, GiveH5414 unto the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398. {the husk…: or, his scrip, or, garment}
And his servitorH8334 saidH559, What, should I setH5414 this beforeH6440 an hundredH3967 menH376? He said againH559, GiveH5414 the peopleH5971, that they may eatH398: for thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, They shall eatH398, and shall leaveH3498 thereof.
So he setH5414 it beforeH6440 them, and they did eatH398, and leftH3498 thereof, according to the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068.

And the sonsH1121 of the prophetsH5030 that were at BethelH1008 came forthH3318 to ElishaH477, and saidH559 unto him, KnowestH3045 thou that the LORDH3068 will take awayH3947 thy masterH113 from thy headH7218 to dayH3117? And he saidH559, Yea, I knowH3045 it; hold ye your peaceH2814.

That I gave my brotherH251 HananiH2607, and HananiahH2608 the rulerH8269 of the palaceH1002, chargeH6680 over JerusalemH3389: for he was a faithfulH571 manH376, and fearedH3372 GodH430 above manyH7227.

For as the heavenH8064 is high aboveH1361 the earthH776, so greatH1396 is his mercyH2617 toward them that fearH3373 him. {as…: Heb. according to the height of the heaven}
For there wereH3426 that saidH559, We, our sonsH1121, and our daughtersH1323, are manyH7227: therefore we take upH3947 cornH1715 for them, that we may eatH398, and liveH2421.
Some also there wereH3426 that saidH559, We have mortgagedH6148 our landsH7704, vineyardsH3754, and housesH1004, that we might buyH3947 cornH1715, because of the dearthH7458.
There wereH3426 also that saidH559, We have borrowedH3867 moneyH3701 for the king'sH4428 tributeH4060, and that upon our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
Yet now our fleshH1320 is as the fleshH1320 of our brethrenH251, our childrenH1121 as their childrenH1121: and, lo, we bring into bondageH3533 our sonsH1121 and our daughtersH1323 to be servantsH5650, and some of our daughtersH1323 areH3426 brought unto bondageH3533 already: neither is it in our powerH410+H3027 to redeem them; for other menH312 have our landsH7704 and vineyardsH3754.
But the mercyH2617 of the LORDH3068 is from everlastingH5769 toH5704 everlastingH5769 upon them that fearH3373 him, and his righteousnessH6666 unto children'sH1121 childrenH1121;
And if the peopleH5971 of the landH776 bringH935 wareH4728 or any victualsH7668 on the sabbathH7676 dayH3117 to sellH4376, that we would not buyH3947 it of them on the sabbathH7676, or on the holyH6944 dayH3117: and that we would leaveH5203 the seventhH7637 yearH8141, and the exactionH4853 of every debtH3027. {every…: Heb. every hand}
PraiseH1984 ye the LORDH3050. BlessedH835 is the manH376 that fearethH3372 the LORDH3068, that delightethH2654 greatlyH3966 in his commandmentsH4687. {Praise…: Heb. Hallelujah}
At the endH7093 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141 let ye goH7971 every manH376 his brotherH251 an HebrewH5680, which hath been soldH4376 unto thee; and when he hath servedH5647 thee sixH8337 yearsH8141, thou shalt let him goH7971 freeH2670 from thee: but your fathersH1 hearkenedH8085 not unto me, neither inclinedH5186 their earH241. {hath been…: or, hath sold himself}
His seedH2233 shall be mightyH1368 upon earthH776: the generationH1755 of the uprightH3477 shall be blessedH1288.
But forasmuch asG1161 heG846 hadG2192 notG3361 to payG591, hisG846 lordG2962 commandedG2753 himG846 to be soldG4097, andG2532 hisG846 wifeG1135, andG2532 childrenG5043, andG2532 allG3956 thatG3745 he hadG2192, andG2532 payment to be madeG591.

The LORDH3068 taketh pleasureH7521 in them that fearH3373 him, in those that hopeH3176 in his mercyH2617.
SoG3779 likewise shall myG3450 heavenlyG2032 FatherG3962 doG4160 alsoG2532 unto youG5213, ifG3362 ye fromG575 yourG5216 heartsG2588 forgiveG863 notG3362 every oneG1538 hisG846 brotherG80 theirG846 trespassesG3900.

ForG1063 he shall have judgmentG2920 without mercyG448, that hath shewedG4160 noG3361 mercyG1656; andG2532 mercyG1656 rejoiceth againstG2620 judgmentG2920. {rejoiceth: or, glorieth}

Then they that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068 spake oftenH1696 oneH376 to anotherH7453: and the LORDH3068 hearkenedH7181, and heardH8085 it, and a bookH5612 of remembranceH2146 was writtenH3789 beforeH6440 him for them that fearedH3373 the LORDH3068, and that thoughtH2803 upon his nameH8034.
But unto you that fearH3373 my nameH8034 shall the SunH8121 of righteousnessH6666 ariseH2224 with healingH4832 in his wingsH3671; and ye shall go forthH3318, and grow upH6335 as calvesH5695 of the stallH4770.
