孩子渐渐长大，一日到他父亲和收割的人那里，
And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
他对父亲说，我的头阿，我的头阿。他父亲对仆人说，把他抱到他母亲那里。
And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
仆人抱去，交给他母亲。孩子坐在母亲的膝上，到晌午就死了。
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.
他母亲抱他上了楼，将他放在神人的床上，关上门出来，
And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.
呼叫她丈夫说，你叫一个仆人给我牵一匹驴来，我要快快地去见神人，就回来。<
And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
丈夫说，今日不是月朔，也不是安息日，你为何要去见他呢。妇人说，平安无事。
And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
于是备上驴，对仆人说，你快快赶着走，我若不吩咐你，就不要迟慢。
Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
妇人就往迦密山去见神人。神人远远地看见她，对仆人基哈西说，看哪，书念的妇人来了。
So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
妇人说，我何尝向我主求过儿子呢。我岂没有说过，不要欺哄我吗。
Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
以利沙吩咐基哈西说，你束上腰，手拿我的杖前去。若遇见人，不要向他问安。人若向你问安，也不要回答。要把我的杖放在孩子脸上。
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
