feign herself to be another woman.

As the LORD thy God liveth, there is no nation or kingdom,
whither my lord hath not sent to seek thee: and when they said, He is not there; he took an oath of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not.

here,
Elijah?”

And
Ahab spake unto
Naboth, saying, Give me thy
vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of
herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better
vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
So
Ahab said to
Naboth, “Give me your
vineyard to use as a vegetable garden, since it is next to my palace. I will give you a better
vineyard in its place—or if you
prefer, I will give you its value in silver.”
And he said unto
her, Because I spake unto
Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy
vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another
vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my
vineyard.
Ahab answered, “Because I spoke to
Naboth the Jezreelite and told him, ‘Give me your
vineyard for silver, or if you wish, I will give you another
vineyard in its place.’ And he replied, ‘I will not give you my
vineyard!’”

Bethel.
and

And

Jericho.
And
Elijah said unto him,
Tarry, I pray thee,
here; for the LORD hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
And
Elijah said to
Elisha, “Please stay
here, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But
Elisha replied, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you
yourself live, I will not leave you.” So the two of them went on.
But
Jehoshaphat said, Is there not
here a prophet of the LORD, that we may
enquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said,
Here is
Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of
Elijah.
But
Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no prophet of the LORD
here? Let us inquire of the LORD through him.” And one of the servants of the king of Israel answered, “
Elisha son of Shaphat is
here. He used to pour water on the hands of
Elijah.”
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.
“How can I help you?” asked
Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a
jar of oil.”
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.
So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.
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.
When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

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.
and
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell
her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.
And he said, What then is to be done for
her? And Gehazi answered,
Verily she hath no child, and
her husband is old.
So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door.
“Call
her,” said
Elisha. So Gehazi called
her, and she stood in the
doorway.
And the woman conceived, and bare a son at that season that
Elisha had said unto
her, according to the time of life.
But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as
Elisha had told
her.
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on
her knees till
noon, and then died.
After the servant had
picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on
her lap until
noon, and then he died.
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.
And the woman called
her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the
donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”
Then she
saddled an
ass, and said to
her servant, Drive, and go forward;
slack not thy riding for me, except I
bid thee.
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:
So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount
Carmel. When the man of God saw
her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.
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.
Please run out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”
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.
When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she
clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to
push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave
her alone, for
her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
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.
And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you
yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed
her.
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.
Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called
her and she came. Then
Elisha said, “
Pick up your son.”
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she
picked up
her son and went out.
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.
One of them went out to the field to gather
herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of
stew, though no one knew what they were.
And she said unto
her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his
leprosy.
She said to
her mistress, “If only my master would go to the prophet who is in Samaria, he would cure him of his
leprosy.”
And the king said unto
her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to
morrow.
Then the king asked
her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and
tomorrow we will eat my son.’
So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto
her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath
hid her son.
So we boiled my son and
ate him, and the next day I said to
her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden
her son.”
And there were four
leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we
here until we die?
Now there were four men with
leprosy at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit
here until we die?
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall unto the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed:) and let us send and see.
But one of his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the city. Their
plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left
here. You can see that all the Israelites
here are
doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with
her household, and
sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years.
So the woman had proceeded to do as the man of God had
instructed. And she and
her household lived as foreigners for seven years in the land of the Philistines.
And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land.
At the end of seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she went to the king to appeal for her house and her land.
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life,
cried to the king for
her house and for
her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is
her son, whom
Elisha restored to life.
And Gehazi was telling the king how
Elisha had brought the dead back to life. Just then the woman whose son
Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for
her house and
her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son
Elisha restored to life.”
And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
When the king asked the woman, she confirmed it. So the king appointed for her an officer, saying, “Restore all that was hers, along with all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the country until now.”
And
Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-
hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come
hither.
Then
Elisha came to Damascus while Ben-
hadad king of
Aram was sick, and the king was told, “The man of God has come
here.”
And the dogs shall eat
Jezebel in the portion of
Jezreel, and there shall be none to
bury her. And he opened the door, and fled.
And on the plot of ground at
Jezreel the dogs will
devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to
bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
And it came to pass, when
Joram saw
Jehu, that he said, Is it peace,
Jehu? And he answered, What peace, so long as the whoredoms of thy mother
Jezebel and
her witchcrafts are so many?
And when
Jehu was come to
Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it; and she painted
her face, and
tired her head, and looked out at a window.
Now when
Jehu arrived in
Jezreel,
Jezebel heard of it. So she painted
her eyes, adorned
her head, and looked down from a window.
And he said, Throw
her down. So they threw
her down: and some of
her blood was
sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses: and he
trode her under foot.
“Throw
her down!”
yelled Jehu. So they threw
her down, and
her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they
trampled her underfoot.
And when he was come in, he did eat and drink, and said, Go, see now this
cursed woman, and
bury her: for she is a king’s daughter.
Then
Jehu went in and
ate and
drank. “Take care of this
cursed woman,” he said, “and
bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”
