4:18And when the child grew up, one day he went out to his father among the reapers; Compare
4:19And he said to his father, My head! My head! And he said to his attendant, Carry him to his mother. Compare
4:20And when he had carried him in and brought him to his mother, the child lay upon her lap until noon, then died. Compare
4:21And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and she shut the door behind him and went out. Compare
4:22Then she called her husband and said, Send me one of the attendants and one of the donkeys that I may run to the man of God and return. Compare
4:23And he said, Why will you go to him today? It is neither the new moon nor the Sabbath. But she said, It will be fine. Compare
4:24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her attendant, Urge the beast, and do not restrain the ride for me unless I tell you. Compare
4:25So she went. And she came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. And when the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his attendant, That is the Shunammite over there. Compare
4:26Run now to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child? And she said, It is well. Compare
4:27And when she came to the man of God on the mountain, she clung to his feet. And Gehazi approached to push her away, but the man of God said, Leave her alone; for she is bitter in soul, and Jehovah has hidden from me and has not told me Compare
4:28And she said, Did I ask my lord for a son? Did I not say, Do not mislead me? Compare
4:29Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not respond to him. And lay my staff upon the face of the boy. Compare
4:30And the mother of the boy said, As Jehovah lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And he rose up and followed her. Compare
4:31And Gehazi passed on before them and set the staff upon the boy's face, but there was no sound or reaction. Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, saying, The boy has not awakened. Compare
4:32And when Elisha went into the house, there was the dead boy, laid out on his bed. Compare
4:33And he went in and shut the door behind the two of them, and he prayed to Jehovah. Compare
4:34Then he got up and lay on the child, and he put his mouth on his mouth and his eyes on his eyes and his palms on his palms; and he stretched himself over him, and the flesh of the child became warm. Compare
4:35And he got down and walked about in the house once to and fro. Then he got up and stretched himself over him, and the boy sneezed seven times. Then the boy opened his eyes. Compare
4:36And he called Gehazi and said, Call that Shunammite. So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, Take up your son. Compare
4:37And she came and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. And she took up her son and went out. Compare
4:38Then Elisha returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets sat before him. And he said to his attendant, Put on the big pot, and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets. Compare
4:39And one went out into the field to gather herbs. And he found a wild vine and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds. And he came and cut them up into the pot of stew, though they did not know what they were. Compare
4:40And they poured out the stew for the men to eat. And while they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, O man of God, there is poison in the pot. And they were not able to eat it. Compare
4:41And he said, Then bring some flour. And he threw it into the pot and said, Pour it out for the people that they may eat. And there was nothing harmful in the pot. Compare
4:42Then a man came from Baal-shalishah and brought to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And Elisha said, Give it to the people that they may eat. Compare
4:43And his servant said, How can I set this before a hundred people? And he said, Give it to the people that they may eat; for thus says Jehovah, They shall eat and have some left. Compare
4:44So he set it before them; and they ate, and there was some left, according to the word of Jehovah. Compare
5:1Now Naaman, the captain of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man in the sight of his master and highly respected, because by him Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria. But the man, though a mighty man of valor, was a leper. Compare
5:2And the Syrians had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel, and she waited on Naaman's wife. Compare
5:3And she said to her mistress, If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would cure him of his leprosy. Compare
5:4And Naaman went in and told his master, saying, Thus and thus did the girl who is from the land of Israel say. Compare
5:5Then the king of Syria said, Go then, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went and took with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold and ten changes of clothes. Compare
5:6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read: And now, when this letter comes to you, I am sending Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy. Compare
5:7And when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, Am I God to put to death and to give life, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Therefore consider now and see how he seeks an occasion against me. Compare
5:8And when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come to me, and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel. Compare
5:9And Naaman came with his horses and his chariot and stood at the entrance of the house of Elisha. Compare
5:10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored; and you shall be clean. Compare
5:11But Naaman became furious and went away and said, I thought, He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper. Compare
5:12Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. Compare
5:13And his servants came near and spoke to him and said, My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, Wash and be clean? Compare
5:14So he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times according to the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored to be like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean. Compare
5:15And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him and said, Now I know that there is no God in all the earth except with Israel. And now, please accept a present from your servant. Compare
5:16But he said, As Jehovah lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing. And Naaman urged him to take it, but he refused. Compare
5:17And Naaman said, Then if not, please let your servant be given two mule-loads of earth, for your servant will no more offer burnt offerings and sacrifices to other gods, but to Jehovah only. Compare
5:18In this matter may Jehovah pardon your servant: When my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there and leans on my arm, and I bow down in the house of Rimmon, when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may Jehovah pardon your servant in this matter. Compare
5:19And he said to him, Go in peace. And when he had gone from him a little way, Compare
5:20Gehazi, the attendant of Elisha the man of God said, Now my master has spared Naaman this Syrian by not receiving from his hand that which he brought. As Jehovah lives, I will run after him and take something from him. Compare
5:21So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him and said, Is all well? Compare
5:22And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Now at this moment two young men from among the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim; please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes. Compare
5:23And Naaman said, Please take two talents. And he urged him and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and gave them to two of his attendants; and they carried them before him. Compare
5:24And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house. And he sent the men away, and they departed. Compare
5:25And he went in and stood before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant has not gone anywhere. Compare
5:26And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive silver and to receive clothing and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male servants and female servants? Compare
5:27Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cleave to you and to your seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow. Compare
6:1Then the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, The place here where we dwell before you is too narrow for us. Compare
6:2Let us go to the Jordan and each take a beam from there, and let us make for ourselves a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go. Compare
6:3And someone said, Please go with your servants. And he said, I will go. Compare
6:4And he went with them. And when they came to the Jordan, they cut down the trees. Compare
6:5But as one was felling a beam, the ax head fell into the water; and he cried out and said, Alas, my master! It was borrowed. Compare
6:6And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick and threw it there and made the iron float. Compare
6:7And he said, Take it up for yourself. And he stretched out his hand and took it. Compare
