Bad things do happen
to good people...
2 Kings 4:14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered,
Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
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.
21 And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut
the door upon him, and went out.
22 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.
23 And he said, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to day? it is neither new
moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It shall be well.
24 Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward;
slack not thy riding for me, except I bid thee.
25 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:
26 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:
27 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.
28 Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive
me?
29 Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine
hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute
thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30 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.
31 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of
the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again
to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead,
and laid upon his bed.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto
the LORD.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth,
and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and stretched
himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and
stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child
opened his eyes.
36 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.
37 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground,
and took up her son, and went out.
2 Kings 12:17 Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought against Gath,
and took it: and Hazael set his face to go up to Jerusalem.
18 And Jehoash king of Judah took all the hallowed things that Jehoshaphat,
and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, his fathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and
his own hallowed things, and all the gold that was found in the treasures
of the house of the LORD, and in the king's house, and sent it to Hazael
king of Syria: and he went away from Jerusalem.
19 And the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
20 And his servants arose, and made a conspiracy, and slew Joash in the
house of Millo, which goeth down to Silla.
21 For Jozachar the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad the son of Shomer, his
servants, smote him, and he died; and they buried him with his fathers in
the city of David: and Amaziah his son reigned in his stead.
2 Kings 15:1 In the twenty and seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel began
Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah to reign.
2 Sixteen years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned two and
fifty years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.
3 And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, according to
all that his father Amaziah had done;
4 Save that the high places were not removed: the people sacrificed and
burnt incense still on the high places.
5 And the LORD smote the king, so that he was a leper unto the day of his
death, and dwelt in a several house. And Jotham the king's son was over
the house, judging the people of the land.
2 Kings 23:24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards,
and the images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied
in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might
perform the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah
the priest found in the house of the LORD.
25 And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD
with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according
to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
26 Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of his great
wrath, wherewith his anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the
provocations that Manasseh had provoked him withal.
27 And the LORD said, I will remove Judah also out of my sight, as I have
removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen,
and the house of which I said, My name shall be there.
28 Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not
written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
29 In his days Pharaohnechoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria
to the river Euphrates: and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him
at Megiddo, when he had seen him.
30 And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought
him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of
the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him
king in his father's stead.
