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.
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.”
17 But a few months later, the woman got pregnant. She gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised.
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.
19 Suddenly he shouted, “My head hurts. It hurts a lot!”“Carry him back to his mother,” the father said to his servant.
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.
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.
