The Life of a Great Mother

2 Kings 4:8, 15-20

(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.

(15) And he 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.
