She went up, and laid him down on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him, and went out.
And he said to her, “Give me your son,” and he took him out of her arms and carried him up to a loft where he slept and laid him on his own bed.
Let us make a little walled upper room and put for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so when he comes to us he can stay there.”
When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, the boy sat on her knees until noon, and died.
Then she called to her husband, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return.”
When Elisha came into the house, he saw that the boy was dead, lying on his bed.
Then she went and told the man of God. And he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt, and you and your children can live on the rest.”
