2 Kings 4:28

Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son

27When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”28Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”
