Then he said, God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.

He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”

And he saith, `Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add--if it remain--the head of Elisha son of Shaphat--upon him this day.'

And he said,God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day!
