One day while the boy was still young, he was out in the fields with his father, where the workers were harvesting the crops.
But a few months later, the woman got pregnant. She gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised.
Suddenly he shouted, “My head hurts. It hurts a lot!” “Carry him back to his mother,” the father said to his servant.
Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “The LORD has warned that there will be no food here for seven years. Take your family and go and live somewhere else for a while.”
When Boaz left Bethlehem and went out to his field, he said to the harvest workers, “The LORD bless you!” They replied, “And may the LORD bless you!”
