Elisha tells the Shunammite that she will embrace a son, and she bears a son when the time comes around

엘리사가 수넴 여인에게 아들을 안으리라고 말하고 여인이 돐이 돌아오매 아들을 낳음

2 Kings 4:11–17: one day Elisha comes there, and goes to the room and lies there. He says to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. He says to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answers, “I dwell among my own people.” He says, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answers, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.” He says, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door. He says, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She says, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.” The woman conceives, and bears a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her. WEB reads “One day he came there” at 4:11 and “He said” at 4:13, 4:14 and 4:16, where the Korean Revised Version names Elisha (엘리사가); the Korean Revised Version names no one at 4:12 and 4:15, and reads 돐이 되면 (when the year comes around) at 4:16, where WEB reads “At this season next year”.
