2 Kings 4:13-16

Living Bible

¹³ he said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we appreciate her kindness to us. Now ask her what we can do for her. Does she want me to put in a good word for her to the king or to the general of the army?”

“No,” she replied, “I am perfectly content.”

¹⁴ “What can we do for her?” he asked Gehazi afterwards.

He suggested, “She doesn’t have a son, and her husband is an old man.”

^15-16 “Call her back again,” Elisha told him.

When she returned, he talked to her as she stood in the doorway. “Next year at about this time you shall have a son!”

“O man of God,” she exclaimed, “don’t lie to me like that!”
