2 Kings 4:28-30

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁸ The woman said, “I didn’t ask you for a son. I said, ‘Don’t raise my hopes.’ ”

²⁹ The man of God told Gehazi, “Put on a belt, take my shepherd’s staff in your hand, and go. Whenever you meet anyone, don’t stop to greet him. If he greets you, don’t stop to answer him. Lay my staff on the boy’s face.”

³⁰ The boy’s mother said, “I solemnly swear, as the Lord and you live, I will not leave without you.” So Elisha got up and followed her.
