Kwathi ngelinye ilanga u-Elisha wadlula eya eShunemi lapho kwakukhona owesifazane ocebileyo. Owesifazane wamncenga ukuba adle isinkwa. Kwakuthi njalo uma edlula aphambukele khona ukuba adle. Wathi endodeni yakhe: “Uyabona-ke, manje sengiyazi ukuthi ungumuntu ongcwele kaNkulunkulu, lo odlula lapha kithi njalo. Ake sixhume odongeni ikamelo eliphezulu, sibeke khona umbhede, itafula, isihlalo, nothi lwesibani; kuyakuthi lapho efika kithi, aphambukele khona.” Kwathi ngelinye ilanga wafika lapho, waphambukela ekamelweni eliphezulu, walala khona. Wathi kuGehazi, inceku yakhe: “Biza lo mShunemikazi,” wambiza, wema phambi kwakhe. Wathi kuye: “Ake usho kuye uthi: ‘Bheka, usinakekele ngakho konke lokhu kunakekela; yini ongenzelwa yona na? Uthanda ukukhulunyelwa enkosini noma kumkhuzi wempi na?’ ” Wathi: “Ngihlezi phakathi kwabantu bakithi.” Wayesethi: “Yini angenzelwa yona?” UGehazi wathi: “Impela akanandodana, nendoda yakhe isindala.” Wayesethi: “Mbize.” Wambiza; wema ngasemnyango. Wathi: “Ngalesi sikhathi ngonyaka ozayo, uyakugona indodana.” Wathi: “Hhayi, nkosi yami, muntu kaNkulunkulu, ungaqambi amanga encekukazini yakho.” Kepha owesifazane wakhulelwa, wazala indodana ngaleso sikhathi ngonyaka olandelayo njengoba u-Elisha ayeshilo kuye. Kwathi umfana esekhulile, waphuma ngelinye ilanga, waya kuyise kubavuni. Wathi kuyise: “Ngafa yikhanda! Ngafa yikhanda!” Wayesethi encekwini yakhe: “Myise kunina.” Yamthatha, yamyisa kunina; wahlala emathangeni akhe kwaze kwaba semini, wafa. Wakhuphuka, wambeka embhedeni womuntu kaNkulunkulu, wamvalela, wayesephuma. Wabiza indoda yakhe, wathi: “Ake ungithumele enye yezinceku nenye yezimbongolo ukuba ngiphuthume kumuntu kaNkulunkulu, bese ngibuya.” Kepha wathi: “Uyelani kuye namuhla na? Akusilo usuku lokwethwasa kwenyanga, akusilo isabatha.” Wathi: “Cha, kulungile.” Wayesebophela imbongolo, wathi encekwini yakhe: “Yihole, uhambe njalo, ungami uma ngingakasho.” Wayesehamba-ke, wafika kumuntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni iKharmeli. Kwathi lapho umuntu kaNkulunkulu embona phambi kwakhe, wathi kuGehazi, inceku yakhe: “Bheka, nanguya umShunemikazi; ake ugijime, umhlangabeze, uthi kuye: ‘Usahleli kahle yini na? Indoda yakho isahleli kahle? Umntanakho usahleli kahle?’ ” Wathi: “Sisahleli kahle.” Wafika kumuntu kaNkulunkulu entabeni, wabamba izinyawo zakhe. UGehazi wasondela ukuba amxoshe, kodwa umuntu kaNkulunkulu wathi: “Myeke, ngokuba inhliziyo yakhe inomunyu; uSimakade ungifihlele lokho, akangitshelanga.” Wayesethi: “Ngake ngacela yini indodana enkosini yami na? Angishongo yini ukuthi: ‘Ungangikhohlisi,’ na?” Wathi kuGehazi: “Bopha ukhalo lwakho, uthathe udondolo lwami ngesandla sakho, uhambe; uma uhlangana nomuntu, ungambingeleli; uma umuntu ekubingelela, ungamphenduli, uyobeka udondolo lwami ebusweni bomntwana.” Unina womntwana wathi: “Ngifunga ngiyagomela phambi kukaSimakade naphambi kwakho, angiyukukushiya.” Wayesesuka wamlandela. UGehazi wabendulela, wabeka udondolo ebusweni bomntwana; akubanga bikho lizwi nakuphila. Ngalokho-ke wabuya wayomhlangabeza, wambikela wathi: “Umntwana akavukanga.” U-Elisha esefikile endlini, bheka, umntwana wayefile elaliswe embhedeni wakhe. Wangena, wabavalela bobabili isicabha, wakhuleka kuSimakade. Wakhuphuka, walala phezu komntwana, wabeka umlomo wakhe phezu komlomo wakhe, namehlo akhe phezu kwamehlo akhe, nezandla zakhe phezu kwezandla zakhe; lapho esekhothama phezu kwakhe, inyama yomntwana yaqala ukufudumala. Wayesebuya, wahamba ehla enyuka khona endlini; wakhuphuka, wakhothama phezu kwakhe; umntwana wathimula kwaze kwaba kasikhombisa; wayesevula amehlo akhe. Wabiza uGehazi, wathi: “Mbize lo mShunemikazi.” Wambiza. Kuthe esefikile kuye, wathi: “Thatha indodana yakho.”
