1 Kings 1:3So they sought for a beautiful young lady throughout all the borders of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.1 Kings 2:13Then Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. She said, “Do you come peaceably?” He said, “Peaceably.1 Kings 2:14He said moreover, I have something to tell you.” She said, “Say on.”1 Kings 2:15He said, “You know that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign. However the kingdom is turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Yahweh.1 Kings 2:16Now I ask one petition of you. Don’t deny me.” She said to him, “Say on.”1 Kings 2:17He said, “Please speak to Solomon the king (for he will not tell you ‘no’), that he give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.”1 Kings 2:18Bathsheba said, “Alright. I will speak for you to the king.”1 Kings 2:19Bathsheba therefore went to king Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. The king rose up to meet her, and bowed himself to her, and sat down on his throne, and caused a throne to be set for the king’s mother; and she sat on his right hand.1 Kings 2:20Then she said, “I ask one small petition of you; don’t deny me.” The king said to her, “Ask on, my mother; for I will not deny you.”1 Kings 2:21She said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.”1 Kings 2:22King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also; for he is my elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.”1 Kings 2:23Then king Solomon swore by Yahweh, saying, “God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own life.1 Kings 2:24Now therefore as Yahweh lives, who has established me, and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, as he promised, surely Adonijah shall be put to death this day.”1 Kings 2:25King Solomon sent by Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he fell on him, so that he died.2 Kings 4:8It fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.2 Kings 4:9She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passes by us continually.2 Kings 4:10Please let us make a little room on the wall. Let us set for him there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. It shall be, when he comes to us, that he shall turn in there.”2 Kings 4:11One day he came there, and he turned into the room and lay there.2 Kings 4:12He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.2 Kings 4:13He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”2 Kings 4:14He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”2 Kings 4:15He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.2 Kings 4:16He said, “At this season, when the time comes around, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.”2 Kings 4:17The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.2 Kings 4:18When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father to the reapers.2 Kings 4:19He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”2 Kings 4:20When he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.2 Kings 4:21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door on him, and went out.2 Kings 4:22She called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God, and come again.”2 Kings 4:23He said, “Why would you want go to him today? It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “It’s alright.”2 Kings 4:24Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Don’t slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”2 Kings 4:25So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. It happened, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.2 Kings 4:26Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’” She answered, “It is well.”2 Kings 4:27When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone; for her soul is troubled within her; and Yahweh has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”2 Kings 4:28Then she said, “Did I desire a son of my lord? Didn’t I say, Do not deceive me?”2 Kings 4:29Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the face of the child.”2 Kings 4:30The mother of the child said, “As Yahweh lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” He arose, and followed her.2 Kings 4:31Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child has not awakened.”2 Kings 4:32When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.2 Kings 4:33He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.2 Kings 4:34He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.2 Kings 4:35Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.2 Kings 4:36He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”2 Kings 4:37Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
