"Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door."
— 2 Kings 4:15, Bible in Basic English
And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.
And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.
So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.
Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.
And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.
Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.
Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.
