13 he told Gehazi, “Say to her, ‘You have troubled yourself greatly for us; what can we do for you? Can we say a good word for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’” She replied, “I am living among my own people.”
14 Later Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” Gehazi answered, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Elisha said, “Call her.” He did so, and when she stood at the door,
16 Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be cradling a baby son.” She said, “My lord, you are a man of God; do not deceive your servant.”
17 Yet the woman conceived, and by the same time the following year she had given birth to a son, as Elisha had promised;
18 and the child grew up healthy.One day the boy went out to his father among the reapers.
19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” And his father said to the servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
