2 Kings 4:11–15 · Berean Standard Bible

11 One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,

13 and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.

14 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”

15 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
