17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son in the spring, which Elisha had promised to her.
18 The child grew older, and it happened one day that he went out to his father and to the reapers.
19 Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to the servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
20 So they carried him and brought him to his mother; he sat on her lap until noon and then died.
21 She went up, laid him on the bed of the man of God, closed the door, and went out behind it.
22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send one of the servants and one of the female donkeys for me, so that I can go quickly up to the man of God and return.”
23 And he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the new moon nor the Sabbath!” And she said, “Peace.”
