2 Kings 4:15-17
Wycliffe Bible
15 Therefore Elisha commanded, that he should call her (back). And when she was called, and stood before the door,
16 he said to her, In this time, as in (the) time of life (At this time, next year), thou shalt embrace a son.[a] And she answered, Do not thou, my lord, the man of God, I beseech (thee), do not thou lie to thine handmaid.
17 And the woman conceived, and childed a son in the time, and in the same hour, in which Elisha had said. (And the woman conceived, and bare a son at the time, and at the hour, in which Elisha had said.)

2 Kings 4:15-17
New International Version
15 Then Elisha said, “Call her.” So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 “About this time(A) next year,” Elisha said, “you will hold a son in your arms.”
“No, my lord!” she objected. “Please, man of God, don’t mislead your servant!”
17 But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
