Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.” Mat 18:252Ki 2:3Neh 5:2-5Psa 147:11Lev 25:39-411Sa 22:22Ki 4:38Act 13:26
Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” 1Ki 17:12Jas 2:52Ki 2:9Jhn 6:5-7Mat 15:34Act 3:62Co 6:102Ki 6:26-27
She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Don’t borrow just a few containers. Jhn 2:7Jhn 16:24Psa 81:102Ki 13:18-192Ki 3:16 Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.” Mat 6:6Mrk 8:5-91Ki 17:19-202Ki 4:32-33Act 9:40Eph 3:20Jhn 2:7-9Jhn 6:11
So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil. 2Ki 5:11Heb 11:7-81Ki 17:15-16Luk 1:45 When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” Mat 14:202Ki 13:19Luk 6:191Ki 17:142Ch 6:12-132Ki 4:43-44Jhn 6:12Jos 5:12
He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.” 2Th 3:7-121Ki 12:22Php 4:8Psa 37:21Rom 12:171Th 2:9-101Th 4:12
One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. Jos 19:181Ki 1:32Ki 4:11-12Gen 19:3Job 1:3Job 32:9Luk 24:292Sa 19:32 She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually. 1Ki 17:24Pro 31:10-112Ki 4:71Th 2:10Tit 1:81Ki 17:18Mat 5:161Pe 3:1 Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.” Rom 12:13Mat 10:41-42Mat 25:40Heb 10:241Pe 4:9-10Heb 13:2Isa 32:8Luk 8:3
One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there. He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 2Ki 8:4-51Ki 19:32Ki 3:112Ki 4:29-312Ki 5:20-271Ki 18:43Act 13:5 He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” 2Ti 1:16-18Heb 6:10Php 4:18-191Ti 6:6-81Th 5:12-13Heb 13:5Rom 16:62Sa 19:13
She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
He said, “What then is to be done for her?” 1Sa 1:8Gen 15:2-3Luk 1:7Gen 18:10-14Gen 25:21Jdg 13:21Sa 1:2Gen 17:17
Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door. He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” Gen 18:10Luk 1:132Ki 4:28Gen 17:21Gen 18:12-152Ki 2:19Gen 17:16-17Luk 1:30-31
She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her. Gen 21:1Luk 1:36Psa 113:9Heb 11:111Sa 1:19-20Luk 1:24-25 When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers. Rut 2:4 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” Jer 4:19Job 14:1-2
He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died. Luk 7:12Jhn 11:14Jhn 11:3Jhn 11:51Ki 17:17Ezk 24:16-18Gen 22:2Gen 37:3 She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out. 2Ki 4:321Ki 17:192Ki 4:102Ki 4:7 She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.” 2Ki 4:242Ki 4:26Act 9:38Jhn 11:3
He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” Num 10:101Ch 23:31Num 28:11Isa 1:13-15
She said, “It’s all right.”
Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.” 1Ki 13:131Ki 13:231Sa 25:19-20Exo 4:20
So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite. 2Ki 2:251Ki 18:191Ki 18:42Isa 35:2 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” Act 15:362Ki 4:231Sa 17:181Sa 3:18Gen 37:14Job 1:21-22Psa 39:9Gen 29:6
She answered, “It is well.”
When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.” 2Sa 7:3Gen 18:171Sa 1:102Ki 4:252Ki 6:12Amo 3:7Job 10:1Mat 15:23
Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?” Gen 30:12Ki 4:16
Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.” 2Ki 2:141Ki 18:46Exo 14:162Ki 9:1Luk 10:4Act 19:12Exo 4:17Exo 7:19-20
The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” 2Ki 2:2Rut 1:16-182Ki 2:4Exo 33:12-16
So he arose, and followed her.
Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.” Jhn 11:111Ki 18:261Ki 18:291Sa 14:371Sa 28:6Act 19:13-17Dan 12:2Eph 5:14
When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed. 1Ki 17:17Jhn 11:17Luk 8:52-53 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD. Mat 6:62Ki 4:4Act 9:40Jas 5:13-181Ki 17:20-21Luk 8:511Ki 18:26-272Ki 5:11 He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm. 1Ki 17:21Act 20:10 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 2Ki 13:212Ki 8:51Ki 17:222Ki 8:1Act 9:40Jhn 11:43-44Luk 7:14-15Luk 8:55 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. Heb 11:351Ki 17:23Luk 7:15
When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out. Heb 11:351Ki 17:242Ki 2:152Ki 4:27
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.” 2Ki 2:12Ki 2:32Ki 8:1Act 22:3Luk 10:39Lev 26:261Sa 19:201Sa 7:16-17
One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they didn’t recognize them. Heb 12:15Isa 5:4Jer 2:21Mat 15:13 So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it. Mrk 16:18Exo 10:17Exo 15:231Ki 17:182Ki 1:112Ki 1:132Ki 4:9Deu 33:1
But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot. 2Ki 2:21Exo 15:251Co 1:252Ki 5:102Ki 6:6Act 28:5Jhn 9:6
A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.” 1Sa 9:7Jhn 6:13Jhn 6:9Mat 14:16-211Sa 9:42Ki 7:1Mat 15:32-381Co 9:11
His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” Luk 9:13Mat 14:20Jhn 6:9Jhn 6:11-13Mat 16:8-10Luk 9:17Mat 14:16-17Mat 15:33-34
But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
