20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there
came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they
gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites
saw the water on the other side asred as blood:
23 And they said, This isblood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another:
now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so
that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in theircountry.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and
filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in
Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven
hundred men that drew swords, to break through evenunto the king of Edom: but they could not.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him fora burnt
offering upon the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from
him, and returned to their ownland.
1 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 sons to be bondmen.
2 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 any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, evenempty vessels;
borrow not a few.
4 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.
5 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.
6 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 isnot a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 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.
8 And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where wasa great woman; and she
constrained him to eat bread. And soit was, thatas oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to
eat bread.
9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this isan holy man of God, which
passeth by us continually.
10 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.
11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she
stood before him.
13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this
care; what isto be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of
the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.
14 And he said, What then isto be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child,
and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
16 And he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And
she said, Nay, my lord, thouman of God, do not lie unto thine handmaid.
17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that Elisha had said unto her,
according to the time of life.
18 And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 And he said unto his father, My head, my head. And he said to a lad, Carry him to his mother.
20 And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and
thendied.
21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the doorupon him, and
went out.
22 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.
23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it isneither new moon, nor sabbath. And
she said, It shall bewell.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not thyriding
for me, except I bid thee.
25 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 isthat
Shunammite:
26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is itwell with thee? is itwell with thy
husband? is itwell with the child? And she answered, It iswell.
27 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 isvexed
within her: and the LORD hath hid itfrom me, and hath not told me.
28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29 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.
30 And the mother of the child said, Asthe LORD liveth, and asthy soul liveth, I will not leave
thee. And he arose, and followed her.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there
wasneither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The
child is not awaked.
32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, andlaid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon
his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of
the child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself
upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was
come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son,
and went out.
38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there wasa dearth in the land; and the sons of the
prophets weresitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe
pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof

wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred theminto the pot of pottage: for they knew them
not.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the
pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thouman of God, there isdeath in the pot. And they
could not eat thereof.
41 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast itinto the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people,
that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
42 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the
firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give
unto the people, that they may eat.
43 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.
44 So he set itbefore them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the
LORD.
1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and
honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man
in valour, but he wasa leper.
2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of
Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord werewith the prophet that isin Samaria!
for he would recover him of his leprosy.
4 And onewent in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that isof the land of
Israel.
5 And the king of Syria said, Go to, go, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And he
departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand piecesof gold, and ten
changes of raiment.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now when this letter is come unto
thee, behold, I have therewithsent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of
his leprosy.
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and
said, AmI God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of
his leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God had heard that the king of Israel had rent his
clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come
now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of
Elisha.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy
flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out
to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place,
and recover the leper.
12 Arenot Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I
not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.
13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, ifthe prophet had bid
thee do somegreat thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith
to thee, Wash, and be clean?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the
man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
