12 He said to his servant Gehazi, "Go and get the Shunammite woman." So he did. She stood in front of Elisha.
13 He said to Gehazi, "Tell her, 'You have gone to a lot of trouble for us. Now what can we do for you? Can we speak to the king for you? Or can we speak to the commander of the army for you?' " She replied, "I live among my own people. I have everything I need here."
14 After she left, Elisha asked Gehazi, "What can we do for her?" Gehazi said, "Well, she doesn't have a son. And her husband is old."
15 Then Elisha said, "Bring her here again." So he did. She stood in the doorway.
16 "You will hold a son in your arms," Elisha said. "It will be about this time next year." "No, my master!" she objected. "You are a man of God. So don't lie to me!"
17 But the woman became pregnant. She had a baby boy. It happened the next year about that same time. That's exactly what Elisha had told her would happen.
18 The child grew. One day he went out to get his father. His father was with those who were gathering the crops.
