1Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!"
“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord, and the creditor is come to take unto him my two…”

“Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha saying Thy servant my husband is dead. And thou knowest that thy servant did fear the Lord. And the creditor is come to take unto him my two…”
“A certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the Lord. And the creditor is coming to take my two sons to be his…”
2"How can I help you?" asked Elisha. "Tell me, what do you have in the house?" She answered, "Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil."
“So Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
“So Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”
“Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil.”
“And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil.”
“And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil.”
“And Elisha said unto her What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said thy handmaid hath not anything in the house save a pot of oil.”
3"Go," said Elisha, "borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.
“Then he said, Go, borrow vessels from everywhere, from all your neighbors, empty vessels. Do not gather just a few.”
“then he said, Go borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels borrow not a few.”
“Then he said, go borrow vessels at large for yourself from all your neighbors. Even empty vessels. Do not get a few.”
“Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels, borrow not a few.”
“Then he said, Go borrow vessels from everywhere. From all your neighbors, empty vessels. Do not gather just a few.”
“Then he said, Go borrow three vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even empty vessels. Borrow not a few.”
4Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside."
“And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
“And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
“And when thou art come in thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons And shalt pour out into all those vessels And thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
“and when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy son, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
“When thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full”
“And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and thou shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.”
5So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.
“So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons who brought the vessels to her. And she poured it out.”
“So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons who brought the vessels to her and she poured out.”
“So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.”
“So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons Who brought the vessels to her and she poured out.”
“So she went from him and shut the door upon her and upon her sons who brought the vessels to her. And she poured out.”
“So she went from him and shut the door behind her and her sons who brought the vessels to her, and she poured it out.”
6When all the jars were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another." But he replied, "There are no more jars." Then the oil stopped flowing.
“And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed,”
“And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.”
“And it came to pass when the vessels were full that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more and the oil stayed.”

“And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed,”
7She went and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder."
“then she came and told the man of God and he said, Go, sell the oil and pay your debt and you and your sons live on the rest.”
“Then she came, and told the man of God, and he said, Go sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.”
“Then she came and told the man of God and he said, Go sell the oil and pay thy debt and live thou and thy children of the rest.”
“Then she came and told the man of God, And he said, Go sell the oil, and pay thy debt, And live thou and thy children of the rest.”
“Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.”
“she came and told the man of God, and he said, Go and sell the oil and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.”
8One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.
“And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem where was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.”
“And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.”
“And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.”
“And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was that as often as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.”
“Now there came a day when Elisha passed over Shunam where there was a prominent woman and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.”
“Now, it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunam, and there was a notable woman. She persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, that he would turn in there to eat some food.”
9Then the woman said to her husband, "Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.
“And she said to her husband, Behold, now I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way.”
“And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.”
“She said to her husband, Behold now, I perceived that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually.”
“And she said to her husband, Look now, I know this is a holy man of God who passes by us regularly.”
“And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God which passeth by us continually.”
“And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God which passeth by us continually.”
10Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there."
“Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.”
“Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick. And it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.”
“Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick. And it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.”
“Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a candlestick, and it shall be when he cometh to us that he shall turn in thither.”
“let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall. And let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a candlestick. And it shall be when he cometh to us that he shall turn in thither.”
“Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick. And it shall be when he cometh to us that he shall turn in thither.”
11One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.
“And it fell on a day that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.”
“One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber and rested there.”
“And it fell on a day that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.”
“And it fell on a day that he came thither. And he turned unto the chamber and lay there.”
“And it fell on a day that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and he lay there,”
“It fell on a day that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.”
12And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call the Shunammite woman." And when he had called her, she stood before him,
“And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. When he had called her, she stood before him.”
“And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunemite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.”
“and lay there. He said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunemite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.”
“And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunemite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.”
“Then he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call the Shunammite woman. When he had called her, she stood before him.”
“and he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call the Shunammite. When he had called her, she stood before him,”
13and 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.
“And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold thou hast been careful for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among…”
“And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among…”
“And he said to Gehazi, Say now to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us. What is to be done for you? Would you have a word spoken to you on your behalf? To the king or to the commander of the army? She answered, I…”
“and he said unto him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Wouldst thou be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among…”
“He said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care. What is to be done for thee? Wouldest thou be spoken of to the king or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my…”
14So he asked, "Then what should be done for her?" "Well, she has no son," Gehazi replied, "and her husband is old."
“And he said, What then is to be done for her? Gehazi answered, Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
“So he said, What then is there to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
“And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily, she hath no child, and her husband is old.”
“And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.”
“so he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly she has no son. Her husband is old.”
“And he said, What then is to be done for her? Gehazi answered, Verily, she hath no child, and her husband is old.”
15"Call her," said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
“he said, Call her. When he had called her, she stood in the doorway.”
“He said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.”
“And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.”
“And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.”
“And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.”
“he said, Call her. And when he called her, she stood in the doorway.”
16And Elisha declared, "At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms." "No, my lord," she said. "Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God."
“And he said, at this season, about this time next year, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
“then he said, At this season next year, you will embrace a son. And she said, No, my Lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”
“And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.”
“Then he said, About this same time next year, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your”
“And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.”
“And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.”
17But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
“But the woman conceived and bore a son when the appointed time had come, of which Elisha had told her.”
“But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time the following spring. As Elisha had said to her,”
“And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season, that Elisha had said unto her, According to the time of life.”
“And the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her according to the time of life.”
“The woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha said to her.”
“And the woman conceived and bare a son at that season that Elijah had said unto her according to the time of life.”
18And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
“when the child had grown, he went out one day to his father among the reapers.”
“And when the child was grown, it fell on a day that he went out to his father to the reapers,”
“And when the child was grown, it fell on a day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.”
“And the child grew, and it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers,”
“And when the child was grown, it fell on a day that he went up to his father, to the reapers.”
“And when the child was grown, it fell on a day. She went out to his father, to the reapers.”
19"My head! My head!" he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, "Carry him to his mother."
“And he said to his father, Oh, my head, my head. The father said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.”
“he said to his father, My head, my head. And he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.”
“And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.”
“And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.”
“And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.”
“and he said to his father, My head, my head! So he said to his servant, Carry him to his mother.”
20After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
“When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon and then died.”
“And when he had lifted him and brought him to his mother, the child sat on her lap till noon. And then he died.”
“when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.”
“when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon and then died.”
“when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.”
“When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.”
21And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.
“And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door upon him and went out.”
“and she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and went out.”
“And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him and went out.”
“And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, And shut the door upon him, and went out.”
“And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him and went out.”
“She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him and went out.”
22And the woman called her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return."
“Then she called to her husband and said, Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys that I may run to meet the man of God and come back.”
“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.”
“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.”
“And she called into her husband and said send me I pray thee one of the young men and one of the masses that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
“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.”
“and went out. She called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I may run to the man of God, and come again.”
23"Why would you go to him today?" he replied. "It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath." "Everything is all right," she said.
“And he said, why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath. She said, all is well.”
“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.”
“So he said, Why are you going to him today? It's neither the new moon nor the Sabbath. And she said, It is well.”
“And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.”
24Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, "Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you."
“Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, Drive and go forward. Do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.”
“Then she saddled the donkey and she said to her servant, urge the animal on. Do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.”
“Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward. Slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.”
“Then she saddled an ass and said to her servant, Drive and go forward, slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.”
“Then she saddled an ass and said to her servant, Drive and go forward. Slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.”
“She saddled an ass and said to her servant drive and go forward. Slack not thy riding for me except I bid thee.”
25So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
“So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, Look, there is the Shunammite.”
“So she departed and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it was that when the man of God saw her afar off that he said to his servant Gehazi, Look, the Shunammite woman!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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, and he said to Gehazi, his servant, Behold, yonder is”
26Please run out now to meet her and ask, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?'" And she answered, "Everything is all right."
“Please run 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 answered, It is well.”
“Run at once to meet her and say to her, Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child? And she answered, all is well.”
“Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.”
“Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee, is it well with thy husband, is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.”
“run. Now I pray thee to meet her and say unto her is it well with thee. Is it well with thy husband. Is it well with thy child. And she answered and said it is well.”
“Run now I pray thee to meet her and say unto her is it well with thee? Is it well with thy husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, it is well.”
27When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."
“Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet. But Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is in deep distress and the Lord has hidden it from me and…”
“And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet. But Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and…”
“And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet. But Gehazi came near to thrust her away, and the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and…”
“And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet. But Gehazi came near to thrust her away, and the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and…”
“When she came to the man of God on the hill she caught him by the feet but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. The man of God said let her alone for her soul is vexed within her. The Lord hath hid it from me and hath not told me.”
28Then she said, "Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn't I say, 'Do not deceive me?'"
“So she said, Did I ask a son of my Lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”
“Then she said, Did I desire a son of my Lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”
“Then she said, Did I desire a son of my Lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”
“Then she said did I desire a son of my Lord. Did I not say do not deceive me.”
“Then she said, Did I desire a son of my Lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”
“Then she said did I desire a son of my Lord? Did I not say do not deceive me?”
29So Elisha said to Gehazi, "Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy's face."
“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.”
“Then he said to Gehazi, Get yourself ready and take my staff on your hand and be on your way. If you meet anyone, do not greet him. And if anyone greets you, do not answer him, but lay my staff on the face of the child.”
“Then he said to Gehazi, gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy 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.”
“Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy 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.”
“Then he said to Gehazi gird up thy loins and take my staff in thy 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.”
“to Gehazi, gird up your loins and take up my staff in your hand and go your way. If you meet any man, do not salute him. And if anyone salutes you, do not answer him and lay my staff on the lad's face.”
30And the mother of the boy said, "As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." So he got up and followed her.
“And the mother of the child said, As the Lord lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. So he arose and followed her.”
“And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her.”
“And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose and followed her.”
“then the mother of the child said to Elisha, as the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he arose and followed her.”
“And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose and followed her.”
“And the mother of the child said, As the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And Elisha arose and followed her.”

41Then Elisha said, "Get some flour." He threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people to eat." And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

42Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. "Give it to the people to eat," said Elisha.
“Then a man came from Baal, Shalisha and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, 20 loaves of barley bread and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. He said, give it to the people that they may eat.”

43But his servant asked, "How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?" "Give it to the people to eat," said Elisha, "for this is what the LORD says: 'They will eat and have some left over.'"
“And his servitor said, What? Should I set this before an hundred men? He said again, give the people that they may eat. For thus saith the Lord, they shall eat and shall leave thereof.”
“But a servant said, what? Shall I set this before 100 men? He said again, give it to the people that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, they shall eat and have some left over.”
