The Promise of a Son

The woman conceived and bore a son about that time, as elisha had said to her. He lifted him up, brought him to his mother, and the child sat on her lap till noon, and then he died. You can just kind of picture her there sitting holding her, holding her boy as he fades and fades and then finally passes away in her arms. Verse 21: She went up and she laid her boy on the bed of the man of god, and then shut the door behind him and went out.
