Înmulţirea uleiului văduvei
4 Soţia unuia dintre fiii profeţilor i
s-a plâns lui Elisei, zicându-i:
– Ucenicul tău, soţul meu, a murit
şi tu ştii că ucenicul tău se temea
de DOMNUL. Creditorul vine acum
să-i ia pe cei doi copii ai mei şi să-i
facă sclavii lui.
2 Elisei a întrebat-o:
– Ce aş putea face pentru tine?
Spune-mi ce ai în casa ta?
– Slujitoarea ta nu mai are nimic în
casă, a răspuns ea, decât un vas
cu ulei.
3– Du-te şi cere vase de la toţi
vecinii tăi, i-a zis Elisei. Cere vase
goale şi să nu fie puţine. 4 Când te
vei întoarce, încuie uşa după tine şi
fiii tăi. Apoi toarnă ulei în fiecare
din aceste vase şi, când vor fi
pline, pune-le deoparte.
5 Atunci a plecat şi a încuiat uşa
după ea şi după fiii săi. Ei apropiau
vasele şi ea turna ulei în ele.
6 Când vasele au fost pline, ea i-a
zis fiului său:
– Mai adu-mi un vas!
– Nu mai este nici unul, i-a zis el.
Atunci uleiul a încetat să mai
curgă.
7 După aceea s-a dus şi i-a spus
omului lui Dumnezeu lucrul acesta.
El i-a zis: „Du-te, vinde uleiul şi
plăteşte-ţi datoria, iar cu ce va
rămâne vei putea trăi tu şi fiii tăi.“
Învierea fiului sunamitei
8 Într-o zi Elisei trecea prin Sunem.
Acolo era o femeie bogată care a
stăruit ca el să mănânce la ea. Şi
ori de câte ori trecea pe acolo,
Elisei se oprea la ea ca să
mănânce. 9 Ea i-a zis soţului ei:
„Iată, ştiu că omul acesta, care
trece adesea pe la noi, este un om
sfânt al lui Dumnezeu. 10 Să facem
pe acoperiş o odaie mică cu pereţi
şi să punem în ea un pat pentru el,
o masă, un scaun şi un sfeşnic,
pentru ca oricând va veni la noi, să
poată sta acolo.“
11 Într-o zi, când Elisei s-a întors, a
intrat în odaie şi s-a odihnit acolo.
12 Apoi a zis slujitorului său,
Ghehazi: „Cheam-o pe şunamita
aceasta!“ Ghehazi a chemat-o şi
ea a venit. 13 Elisei i-a zis lui
Ghehazi: „Spune-i: «Tu te-ai
deranjat făcând toate aceste
lucruri pentru noi. Cu ce-am putea
să-ţi răsplătim? Să vorbim pentru
tine regelui sau conducătorului
oştirii?»“ Ea a răspuns: „Eu
locuiesc în mijlocul poporului meu.
“[a]
14 – Ce putem face pentru ea? a
întrebat Elisei.
– Ei bine, ea nu are nici un fiu, a
răspuns Ghehazi, iar soţul ei este
bătrân.
15 – Cheam-o! i-a zis Elisei.
El a chemat-o, iar ea s-a oprit în
prag.
16 –
La anul, pe vremea aceasta,
vei ţine în braţe un fiu, a zis Elisei.
– Nu, stăpâne! a zis ea. Nu o
amăgi pe slujitoarea ta, omule al lui
Dumnezeu!
17 Femeia a rămas însărcinată şi a
născut un fiu chiar pe vremea
aceea, în anul următor, aşa cum i-a
zis Elisei.
18 Copilul a crescut. Într-o zi, când
se dusese la tatăl său, acolo unde
erau secerătorii, 19 i-a zis tatălui
său: „Capul meu! Capul meu!“
Atunci tatăl copilului a zis
slujitorului său: „Du-l la mama sa!“
20 După ce slujitorul l-a luat şi l-a
dus la mama sa, copilul a stat pe
genunchii ei până la amiază şi apoi
a murit. 21 Ea s-a ridicat şi a aşezat
copilul pe patul omului lui
Dumnezeu. Apoi a închis uşa şi a
plecat.
22 L-a
chemat pe soţul său şi i-a
zis:
– Trimite-mi, te rog, un slujitor şi o
măgăriţă ca să pot merge repede
la omul lui Dumnezeu, după care
mă voi întoarce.
23 Dar el a întrebat-o:
– De ce te duci astăzi la el? Nu
este nici lună nouă[b], nici Sabat.
Ea i-a răspuns:
– Fii pe pace!
24 Şi după ce a înşeuat măgăriţa, a
zis slujitorului ei: „Mână de îndată!
Să nu te oprești pentru mine decât
atunci când îţi voi spune!“ 25 Ea a
plecat şi a ajuns la omul lui
Dumnezeu, pe muntele Carmel.
Când a văzut-o de la depărtare,
omul lui Dumnezeu i-a zis
slujitorului său, Ghehazi: „Priveşte!
Aceasta-i șunamita! 26 Aleargă dar
ca să-i ieşi în întâmpinare şi
întreab-o dacă toate sunt bune cu
ea, cu soţul ei şi cu copilul ei.“ Ea
i-a răspuns: „Toate sunt bune!“
27 După ce a ajuns la omul lui
Dumnezeu pe munte, i-a
îmbrăţişat picioarele. Atunci
Ghehazi s-a apropiat ca s-o
îndepărteze, dar omul lui
Dumnezeu i-a zis: „Las-o, căci
sufletul îi este amărât. DOMNUL
mi-a ascuns lucrul acesta şi nu mi
l-a făcut cunoscut.“ 28 Ea a zis:
„Am cerut eu un fiu stăpânului
meu? Nu ţi-am spus eu să nu mă
amăgeşti?“ 29 Elisei i-a zis lui
Ghehazi: „Încinge-te, ia toiagul
meu în mână şi fugi. Dacă te vei
întâlni cu cineva să nu-l saluţi şi,
dacă te va saluta cineva, să nu-i
răspunzi. Să aşezi toiagul meu pe
faţa copilului.“ 30 Dar mama
copilului a zis: „Viu este DOMNUL şi
viu este sufletul tău că nu te voi
părăsi!“ El s-a ridicat şi a urmat-o.
31 Ghehazi s-a dus înainte, a
aşezat toiagul pe faţa băieţelului,
dar el n-a scos nici un sunet şi n-a
dat nici un semn de viaţă. Apoi
Ghehazi s-a întors să-l întâlnească
pe Elisei şi i-a zis: „Băieţelul nu s-a
trezit!“ 32 Când a ajuns Elisei în
casă, a văzut că băieţelul era
aşezat mort în patul lui. 33 A intrat
şi a închis uşa după ei amândoi şi
s-a rugat DOMNULUI. 34 Apoi s-a
dus şi s-a aşezat pe copil. S-a
întins peste el, punându-şi gura lui
pe gura copilului, ochii lui pe ochii
copilului şi mâinile lui pe mâinile
copilului, şi trupul copilului s-a
încălzit. 35 Elisei s-a întors şi s-a
plimbat prin casă, apoi a urcat din
nou şi s-a întins peste copil.
Băiatul a strănutat de şapte ori,
după care şi-a deschis ochii.
36 Elisei l-a chemat pe Ghehazi şi
i-a zis: „Cheam-o pe şunamită!“ El
a chemat-o. Când a ajuns la el,
Elisei i-a zis: „Ia-ţi fiul!“ 37 Ea a
venit şi a căzut la picioarele lui,
închinându-i-se până la pământ.
După aceea s-a ridicat şi a ieşit
împreună cu fiul său.
Dregerea mâncării otrăvite
38 Elisei
s-a întors la Ghilgal. În
ţară era foamete. În timp ce fiii
profeţilor primeau învăţătură, el i-a
zis slujitorului său: „Pune oala cea
mare şi fierbe ciorbă pentru
profeţi!“ 39 Unul din ei a ieşit în
câmp pentru a aduna ierburi şi a
găsit o viţă sălbatică. A cules din
ea dovleci sălbatici, până şi-a
umplut poala. Când s-a întors, i-a
tăiat şi i-a pus în oala cu ciorbă,
căci nu ştia ce sunt. 40 Apoi au dat
oamenilor să le mănânce. Dar
când au început să mănânce din
ciorbă, au strigat astfel:
– Omule al lui Dumnezeu, moartea
este în oală!
Şi n-au putut să mănânce din ea.
41 –Aduceţi făină! a zis Elisei.
El a aruncat făină în oală şi a zis:
– Daţi-le acum oamenilor să
mănânce!
Şi n-a mai fost nimic otrăvitor în
oală.
Înmulţirea pâinii
42 A venit un om din Baal-Şalişa,
aducând omului lui Dumnezeu
douăzeci de pâini de orz, din cele
dintâi roade şi spice proaspete
într-un sac. Elisei a zis:
– Dă-le oamenilor să mănânce!
43 Dar
slujitorul său a zis:
– Cum pot să împart acestea la o
sută de oameni?
– Dă-le oamenilor să mănânce, i-a
zis Elisei, căci aşa vorbeşte
DOMNUL: „Vor mânca şi va mai şi
rămâne!“
44 Atunci
i-a servit cu pâine, iar ei
au mâncat şi le-a mai şi rămas,
după Cuvântul DOMNULUI.

2 Kings 4 King James Version
4 Now there cried a certain
woman of the wives of the sons of
the prophets unto Elisha, saying,
Thy servant my husband is dead;
and thou knowest that thy servant
did fear the LORD: and the creditor
is come to take unto him my two
sons to be bondmen.
2 And Elisha said unto her, What
shall I do for thee? tell me, what
hast thou in the house? And she
said, Thine handmaid hath not any
thing in the house, save a pot of
oil.
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee
vessels abroad of all thy
neighbours, even empty vessels;
borrow not a few.
4 And when thou art come in, thou
shalt shut the door upon thee and
upon thy sons, and shalt pour out
into all those vessels, and thou
shalt set aside that which is full.
5 So she went from him, and shut
the door upon her and upon her
sons, who brought the vessels to
her; and she poured out.
6 And it came to pass, when the
vessels were full, that she said
unto her son, Bring me yet a
vessel. And he said unto her,
There is not a vessel more. And
the oil stayed.
7 Then she came and told the man
of God. And he said, Go, sell the
oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou
and thy children of the rest.
8 And
it fell on a day, that Elisha
passed to Shunem, where was a
great woman; and she constrained
him to eat bread. And so it was,
that as oft as he passed by, he
turned in thither to eat bread.
9 And
she said unto her husband,
Behold now, I perceive that this is
an holy man of God, which
passeth by us continually.
10 Let us make a little chamber, I
pray thee, on the wall; and let us
set for him there a bed, and a
table, and a stool, and a
candlestick: and it shall be, when
he cometh to us, that he shall turn
in thither.
11 And it fell on a day, that he came
thither, and he turned into the
chamber, and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his
servant, Call this Shunammite. And
when he had called her, she stood
before him.
13 And
he said unto him, Say now
unto her, Behold, thou hast been
careful for us with all this care;
what is to be done for thee?
wouldest thou be spoken for to the
king, or to the captain of the host?
And she answered, I dwell among
mine own people.
14 And he said, What then is to be
done for her? And Gehazi
answered, Verily she hath no child,
and her husband is old.
15 Andhe said, Call her. And when
he had called her, she stood in the
door.
16 And he said, About this season,
according to the time of life, thou
shalt embrace a son. And she said,
Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do
not lie unto thine handmaid.
17 And the woman conceived, and
bare a son at that season that
Elisha had said unto her, according
to the time of life.
18 And when the child was grown,
it fell on a day, that he went out to
his father to the reapers.
19 And he said unto his father, My
head, my head. And he said to a
lad, Carry him to his mother.
20 And when he had taken him,
and brought him to his mother, he
sat on her knees till noon, and
then died.
21 And
she went up, and laid him
on the bed of the man of God, and
shut the door upon him, and went
out.
22 And she called unto her
husband, and said, Send me, I
pray thee, one of the young men,
and one of the asses, that I may
run to the man of God, and come
again.
23 And he said, Wherefore wilt
thou go to him to day? it is neither
new moon, nor sabbath. And she
said, It shall be well.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and
said to her servant, Drive, and go
forward; slack not thy riding for
me, except I bid thee.
25 So she went and came unto the
man of God to mount Carmel. And
it came to pass, when the man of
God saw her afar off, that he said
to Gehazi his servant, Behold,
yonder is that Shunammite:
26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet
her, and say unto her, Is it well with
thee? is it well with thy husband?
is it well with the child? And she
answered, It is well:
27 And when she came to the man
of God to the hill, she caught him
by the feet: but Gehazi came near
to thrust her away. And the man of
God said, Let her alone; for her
soul is vexed within her: and the
LORD hath hid it from me, and hath
not told me.
28 Then she said, Did I desire a
son of my lord? did I not say, Do
not deceive me?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up
thy loins, and take my staff in thine
hand, and go thy way: if thou meet
any man, salute him not; and if any
salute thee, answer him not again:
and lay my staff upon the face of
the child.
30 And the mother of the child
said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy
soul liveth, I will not leave thee.
And he arose, and followed her.
31 And
Gehazi passed on before
them, and laid the staff upon the
face of the child; but there was
neither voice, nor hearing.
Wherefore he went again to meet
him, and told him, saying, The
child is not awaked.
32 And when Elisha was come into
the house, behold, the child was
dead, and laid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut
the door upon them twain, and
prayed unto the LORD.
34 And he went up, and lay upon
the child, and put his mouth upon
his mouth, and his eyes upon his
eyes, and his hands upon his
hands: and stretched himself upon
the child; and the flesh of the child
waxed warm.
35 Then
he returned, and walked in
the house to and fro; and went up,
and stretched himself upon him:
and the child sneezed seven
times, and the child opened his
eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi, and said,
Call this Shunammite. So he called
her. And when she was come in
unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his
feet, and bowed herself to the
ground, and took up her son, and
went out.
38 And Elisha came again to Gilgal:
and there was a dearth in the land;
and the sons of the prophets were
sitting before him: and he said
unto his servant, Set on the great
pot, and seethe pottage for the
sons of the prophets.
39 And
one went out into the field
to gather herbs, and found a wild
vine, and gathered thereof wild
gourds his lap full, and came and
shred them into the pot of
pottage: for they knew them not.
40 So
they poured out for the men
to eat. And it came to pass, as
they were eating of the pottage,
that they cried out, and said, O
thou man of God, there is death in
the pot. And they could not eat
thereof.
41 But
he said, Then bring meal.
And he cast it into the pot; and he
said, Pour out for the people, that
they may eat. And there was no
harm in the pot.
42 And
there came a man from
Baalshalisha, and brought the man
of God bread of the firstfruits,
twenty loaves of barley, and full
ears of corn in the husk thereof.
And he said, Give unto the people,
that they may eat.
43 And
his servitor said, What,
should I set this before an hundred
men? He said again, Give the
people, that they may eat: for thus
saith the LORD, They shall eat, and
shall leave thereof.
44 So he set it before them, and
they did eat, and left thereof,
according to the word of the LORD.

Commentary
Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s PLUS
Son 11 entries
8 Now
it happened one day that
Elisha went to Shunem, where
there was a [a]notable woman, and
she [b]persuaded him to eat some
food. So it was, as often as he
passed by, he would turn in there
to eat some food. 9 And she said
to her husband, “Look now, I know
that this is a holy man of God, who
passes by us regularly. 10 Please,
let us make [c]a small upper room
on the wall; and let us put a bed
for him there, and a table and a
chair and a lampstand; so it will
be, whenever he comes to us, he
can turn in there.”
11 And it happened one day that he
came there, and he turned in to
the upper room and lay down
there. 12 Then he said to Gehazi
his servant, “Call this Shunammite
woman.” When he had called her,
she stood before him. 13 And he
said to him, “Say now to her,
‘Look, you have been concerned
for us with all this care. What can I
do for you? Do you want me to
speak on your behalf to the king or
to the commander of the army?’ ”
She answered, “I dwell among my
own people.”
14 Sohe said, “What then is to be
done for her?”
And Gehazi answered, “Actually,
she has no son, and her husband
is old.”
15 So
he said, “Call her.” When he
had called her, she stood in the
doorway. 16 Then he said, [d]“About
this time next year you shall
embrace a son.”
And she said, “No, my lord. Man of
God, do not lie to your
maidservant!”
17 Butthe woman conceived, and
bore a son when the appointed
time had come, of which Elisha
had told her.
18 And the child grew. Now it
happened one day that he went
out to his father, to the reapers.
19 And he said to his father, “My
head, my head!”
So he said to a servant, “Carry him
to his mother.” 20 When he had
taken him and brought him to his
mother, he sat on her knees till
noon, and then died. 21 And she
went up and laid him on the bed of
the man of God, shut the door
upon him, and went out. 22 Then
she called to her husband, and
said, “Please send me one of the
young men and one of the
donkeys, that I may run to the man
of God and come back.”
23 So he said, “Why are you going
to him today? It is neither the New
Moon nor the Sabbath.”
And she said, [e]“It is well.” 24 Then
she saddled a donkey, and said to
her servant, “Drive, and go
forward; do not slacken the pace
for me unless I tell you.” 25 And so
she departed, and went to the
man of God at Mount Carmel.
So it was, when the man of God
saw her afar off, that he said to his
servant Gehazi, “Look, the
Shunammite woman! 26 Please run
now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is
it well with you? Is it well with your
husband? Is it well with the child?’
”
And she answered, “It is well.”
27 Now when she came to the man
of God at the hill, she caught him
by the feet, but Gehazi came near
to push her away. But the man of
God said, “Let her alone; for her
soul is in deep distress, and the
LORD has hidden it from me, and
has not told me.”
28 So she said, “Did I ask a son of
my lord? Did I not say, ‘Do not
deceive me’?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Get[f]
yourself ready, and take my staff in
your hand, and be on your way. If
you meet anyone, do not greet
him; and if anyone greets you, do
not answer him; but lay my staff on
the face of the child.”
30 And the mother of the child
said, “As the LORD lives, and as
your soul lives, I will not leave you.”
So he arose and followed her.
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of
them, and laid the staff on the face
of the child; but there was neither
voice nor hearing. Therefore he
went back to meet him, and told
him, saying, “The child has not
awakened.”
32 When
Elisha came into the
house, there was the child, lying
dead on his bed. 33 He went in
therefore, shut the door behind
the two of them, and prayed to the
LORD. 34 And he went up and lay
on the child, and put his mouth on
his mouth, his eyes on his eyes,
and his hands on his hands; and
he stretched himself out on the
child, and the flesh of the child
became warm. 35 He returned and
walked back and forth in the
house, and again went up and
stretched himself out on him; then
the child sneezed seven times,
and the child opened his eyes.
36 And he called Gehazi and said,
“Call this Shunammite woman.” So
he called her. And when she came
in to him, he said, “Pick up your
son.” 37 So she went in, fell at his
feet, and bowed to the ground;
then she picked up her son and
went out.
Elisha Purifies the Pot of Stew
38 And Elisha returned to Gilgal,
and there was a famine in the land.
Now the sons of the prophets
were sitting before him; and he
said to his servant, “Put on the
large pot, and boil stew for the
sons of the prophets.” 39 So one
went out into the field to gather
herbs, and found a wild vine, and
gathered from it a lapful of wild
gourds, and came and sliced them
into the pot of stew, though they
did not know what they were.
40 Then they served it to the men
to eat. Now it happened, as they
were eating the stew, that they
cried out and said, “Man of God,
there is death in the pot!” And
they could not eat it.
41 So he said, “Then bring some
flour.” And he put it into the pot,
and said, “Serve it to the people,
that they may eat.” And there was
nothing harmful in the pot.
Elisha Feeds One Hundred Men
42 Then a man came from Baal
Shalisha, and brought the man of
God bread of the firstfruits, twenty
loaves of barley bread, and newly
ripened grain in his knapsack. And
he said, “Give it to the people, that
they may eat.”
43 But his servant said, “What?
Shall I set this before one hundred
men?”
He said again, “Give it to the
people, that they may eat; for thus
says the LORD: ‘They shall eat and
have some left over.’ ” 44 So he set
it before them; and they ate and
had some left over, according to
the word of the LORD.
