And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,

And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunamite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.

and he saith unto Gehazi his young man, 'Call for this Shunammite;' and he calleth for her, and she standeth before him.

And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

And he said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite woman." And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
