Elijah said to her, “Give your son to me.” Elijah took the boy from her and carried him upstairs. He laid him on the bed in the room where he was staying.
Please, let’s make a little room on the roof [24] for Elisha. Let’s put a bed in this room. Let’s put a table, a chair, and a lampstand in there. Then when he comes to our house, he can have this room for himself.”
She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey. Then I will go quickly to get the man of God (Elisha) and come back.”
Then the woman told the man of God [23] (Elisha) what happened. Elisha told her, “Go, sell the oil and pay your debt. After you sell the oil {and pay your debt}, you and your sons can live on the money that is left.”
