00:00.000 --> 00:05.880
Chapter 4 Now they cried a certain woman
of the wives of the sons of the prophet

00:05.880 --> 00:11.520
unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my
husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy

00:11.520 --> 00:15.880
servant did fear the Lord, and the
creditor is come to take unto him my two

00:15.880 --> 00:17.360
sons to be bondmen.

00:17.540 --> 00:20.140
And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do
for thee?

00:20.660 --> 00:23.000
Tell me, what hast thou in the house?

00:23.120 --> 00:27.880
And she said, Thine handmaid hath not
anything in the house, save a pot of oil.

00:27.880 --> 00:33.480
Then he said, Go borrow thee vessels
abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty

00:33.480 --> 00:35.680
vessels, borrow not a few.

00:36.300 --> 00:41.360
And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut
the door upon thee and upon thy sons,

00:41.740 --> 00:47.680
and shalt pour out into all those vessels,
and thou shalt set aside that which is

00:47.680 --> 00:47.960
full.

00:48.340 --> 00:52.820
So she went from him, and shut the door
upon her and upon her sons, who brought

00:52.820 --> 00:53.740
the vessels to her.

00:53.740 --> 00:55.260
And she poured out.

00:55.740 --> 00:59.380
And it came to pass, when the vessels were
full, that she said unto her son,

00:59.520 --> 01:00.600
Bring me yet a vessel.

01:00.880 --> 01:03.280
And he said unto her, There is not a
vessel more.

01:03.440 --> 01:04.420
And the oil stayed.

01:05.060 --> 01:06.840
Then she came and told the man of God.

01:07.260 --> 01:13.020
And he said, Go sell the oil, and pay thy
debt, and live thou and thy children of

01:13.020 --> 01:13.480
the rest.

01:13.900 --> 01:18.040
And it fell on a day that Elisha passed to
Shunem, where was a great woman,

01:18.040 --> 01:20.020
and she constrained him to eat bread.

01:20.520 --> 01:25.500
And so it was, that as oft as he passed
by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

01:25.900 --> 01:30.240
And she said unto her husband,
Behold now, I perceive that this is an

01:30.240 --> 01:33.220
holy man of God which passeth by us
continually.

01:33.800 --> 01:38.020
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee,
on the wall, and let us set for him there

01:38.020 --> 01:41.300
a bed, and a table, and a stool,
and a candlestick.

01:41.680 --> 01:45.180
And it shall be, when he cometh to us,
that he shall turn in thither.

01:45.600 --> 01:47.400
And it fell on a day that he came thither.

01:48.040 --> 01:49.980
And he turned into the chamber,
and lay there.

01:50.740 --> 01:54.360
And he said to Gehazi his servant,
Call this Shunemite.

01:54.540 --> 01:57.020
And when he had called her, she stood
before him.

01:57.360 --> 02:02.780
And he said unto him, Say now unto her,
Behold thou hast been careful for us with

02:02.780 --> 02:03.680
all this care.

02:04.360 --> 02:05.800
What is to be done for thee?

02:06.520 --> 02:10.580
Wouldest thou be spoken for to the king,
or to the captain of the host?

02:10.780 --> 02:13.620
And she answered, I dwell among mine own
people.

02:13.840 --> 02:16.280
And he said, What then is to be done for
her?

02:16.280 --> 02:21.040
And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no
child, and her husband is old.

02:21.320 --> 02:22.660
And he said, Call her.

02:22.900 --> 02:25.240
And when he had called her, she stood in
the door.

02:25.800 --> 02:29.380
And he said, About this season,
according to the time of life,

02:29.780 --> 02:31.500
thou shalt embrace a son.

02:31.800 --> 02:37.420
And she said, Nay, my lord, thou man of
God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.

02:37.700 --> 02:42.560
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at
that season that Elisha had said unto her,

02:42.980 --> 02:44.460
according to the time of life.

02:45.000 --> 02:48.840
And when the child was grown, it fell on a
day that he went out to his father,

02:48.960 --> 02:49.500
to the reapers.

02:49.940 --> 02:52.660
And he said unto his father, My head,
my head.

02:52.820 --> 02:55.000
And he said to a lad, Carry him to his
mother.

02:55.400 --> 02:59.020
And when he had taken him, and brought him
to his mother, he sat on her knees till

02:59.020 --> 03:00.460
noon, and then died.

03:01.380 --> 03:05.720
And she went up, and laid him on the bed
of the man of God, and shut the door upon

03:05.720 --> 03:06.580
him, and went out.

03:07.240 --> 03:11.220
And she called unto her husband,
and said, Send me, I pray thee,

03:11.360 --> 03:15.400
one of the young men, and one of the
asses, that I may run to the man of God,

03:15.500 --> 03:16.300
and come again.

03:16.420 --> 03:18.760
And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him
today?

03:19.580 --> 03:21.260
It is neither new moon, nor sabbath.

03:21.440 --> 03:23.380
And she said, It shall be well.

03:23.700 --> 03:27.680
Then she saddled an ass, and said to her
servant, Drive, and go forward.

03:27.960 --> 03:31.100
Slack not thy riding for me, except I bid
thee.

03:31.340 --> 03:34.500
So she went, and came unto the man of God,
to Mount Carmel.

03:35.260 --> 03:40.520
And it came to pass, when the man of God
saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi

03:40.520 --> 03:44.220
his servant, Behold, yonder is that
Shunammite.

03:44.820 --> 03:49.280
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her,
and say unto her, Is it well with thee?

03:49.780 --> 03:51.260
Is it well with thy husband?

03:51.760 --> 03:53.220
Is it well with the child?

03:53.380 --> 03:55.180
And she answered, It is well.

03:55.580 --> 03:59.380
And when she came to the man of God to the
hill, she caught him by the feet.

04:00.080 --> 04:02.360
But Gehazi came near to thrust her away.

04:02.700 --> 04:07.540
And the man of God said, Let her alone,
for her soul is vexed within her,

04:07.920 --> 04:11.300
and the Lord hath hid it from me,
and hath not told me.

04:11.400 --> 04:14.640
Then she said, Did I desire a son of my
Lord?

04:14.880 --> 04:17.820
Did I not say, Do not deceive me?

04:18.000 --> 04:23.420
Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins,
and take my staff in thine hand,

04:23.660 --> 04:24.780
and go thy way.

04:25.400 --> 04:27.900
If thou meet any man, salute him not.

04:28.540 --> 04:34.420
And if any salute thee, answer him not
again, and lay my staff upon the face of

04:34.420 --> 04:34.920
the child.

04:35.180 --> 04:39.420
And the mother of the child said,
As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul

04:39.420 --> 04:41.620
liveth, I will not leave thee.

04:42.040 --> 04:44.100
And he arose, and followed her.

04:44.740 --> 04:48.960
And Gehazi passed on before them,
and laid the staff upon the face of the

04:48.960 --> 04:49.260
child.

04:49.840 --> 04:52.080
But there was neither voice nor hearing.

04:52.680 --> 04:56.280
Wherefore he went again to meet him,
and told him, saying, The child is not

04:56.280 --> 04:56.720
awaked.

04:56.720 --> 05:01.960
And when Elisha was come into the house,
behold, the child was dead, and laid upon

05:01.960 --> 05:02.480
his bed.

05:03.100 --> 05:07.420
He went in therefore, and shut the door
upon them twain, and prayed unto the Lord.

05:07.760 --> 05:12.240
And he went up, and lay upon the child,
and put his mouth upon his mouth,

05:12.800 --> 05:16.360
and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands
upon his hands.

05:16.980 --> 05:21.820
And he stretched himself upon the child,
and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

05:22.900 --> 05:26.260
Then he returned, and walked in the house
to and fro.

05:26.720 --> 05:29.160
And went up, and stretched himself upon
him.

05:29.480 --> 05:33.840
And the child sneezed seven times,
and the child opened his eyes.

05:34.460 --> 05:38.000
And he called Gehazi, and said,
Call this Shunammite.

05:38.300 --> 05:39.160
So he called her.

05:39.660 --> 05:43.380
And when she was come in unto him,
he said, Take up thy son.

05:43.580 --> 05:47.780
Then she went in, and fell at his feet,
and bowed herself to the ground,

05:48.220 --> 05:50.660
and took up her son, and went out.

05:51.280 --> 05:55.640
And Elisha came again to Gilgal,
and there was a dearth in the land.

05:56.320 --> 05:58.660
And the sons of the prophets were sitting
before him.

05:59.000 --> 06:04.120
And he said unto his servant, Set on the
great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons

06:04.120 --> 06:04.780
of the prophets.

06:05.060 --> 06:10.060
And one went out into the field to gather
herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered

06:10.060 --> 06:14.400
thereof wild gourds his lap full,
and came and shred them into the pot of

06:14.400 --> 06:14.840
pottage.

06:15.240 --> 06:18.440
For they knew them not, so they poured out
for the men to eat.

06:18.960 --> 06:22.900
And it came to pass, as they were eating
of the pottage, that they cried out,

06:22.960 --> 06:25.860
and said, O thou man of God, there is
death in the pot.

06:26.440 --> 06:27.600
And they could not eat thereof.

06:27.980 --> 06:29.780
But he said, Then bring meal.

06:29.980 --> 06:31.200
And he cast it into the pot.

06:31.740 --> 06:34.820
And he said, Pour out for the people,
that they may eat.

06:35.020 --> 06:36.640
And there was no harm in the pot.

06:37.080 --> 06:41.220
And there came a man from Baal-shalasha,
and brought the man of God bread of the

06:41.220 --> 06:45.800
firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley,
and full ears of corn in the husk thereof.

06:46.480 --> 06:49.940
And he said, Give unto the people,
that they may eat.

06:50.220 --> 06:54.240
And his servitor said, What, should I set
this before an hundred men?

06:54.480 --> 06:57.520
He said again, Give the people,
that they may eat.

06:57.820 --> 07:02.900
For thus saith the Lord, They shall eat,
and shall leave thereof.

07:03.180 --> 07:07.420
So he set it before them, and they did
eat, and left thereof, according to the

07:07.420 --> 07:08.100
word of the Lord.
