Chapter 111. Return of Kay Kavus.

Kay Kavus and his army returned to Iran in a giant cloud of dust, and the entire nation partied. Several army commanders showed up to congratulate Kay Kavus on his great victory, and to congratulate Rostam a little more sincerely. But, as Kay Kavus had the sense to pay them their salaries, everyone stayed quite happy and quite loyal. Continue reading Chapter 111. Return of Kay Kavus.

This is such a beautiful work of art. It kills me that it's been dissected and 'disbound'. Of course, then it wouldn't be worth as much, but isn't it a bit like breaking the arms off ancient statues to increase their worth, or smashing complete pots to sell the sherds for more than the whole? Criminal practice, imho.

Haftarah

II Kings Chapter 4

1Now a woman, of the wives of the disciples of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant, my husband, has died, and you know that your servant did fear the Lord; and the creditor has come to take my two children for himself as slaves."

2And Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me what you have in the house." And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing at all in the house except a jug of oil."

3And he said, "Borrow vessels for yourself from outside, from all your neighbors; do not borrow only a few empty vessels.

4And you shall come and close the door about yourself and about your sons, and you shall pour upon all these vessels; and the full one you shall carry away."

5And she went away from him and closed the door about herself and about her sons; they were bringing [vessels] to her and she was pouring.

6And it was when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel," and he said to her, "There is no other vessel." And the oil stopped.

7And she came and told the man of God: and he said, "Go sell the oil and pay your debt; and you and your sons will live with the remainder."

8And it was that day that Elisha went as far as Shunem, and there was a prominent woman who prevailed upon him to eat a meal; and it was, whenever he would pass, he would stop there to eat a meal.

9And she said to her husband, "Behold now I know that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly.

10Now let us make a small walled upper chamber, and place there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp; and it will be that when he comes to us, he will turn into there.

11And it was one day that he went there, that he turned into the upper chamber and lay down there.

12And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunemitess;" and he called her, and she stood before him.

13And he said to him, "Please say to her, 'Behold you have busied yourself on our account with all this trouble. What is there to do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or to the general of the army?' " And she said, "I dwell in the midst of my people."

14And he said, "Now what can we do for her? " And Gehazi said, "Indeed, she has no son, and her husband is old."

15And he said, "Summon her," and he summoned her, and she stood at the doorway.

16And he said, "At this time next year, when you will be alive like now, you will be embracing a son." And she said, "No, my lord, O man of God, do not fail your maidservant."

17And the woman conceived and bore a son, at this time a year later, which Elisha had spoken to her.

18And the child grew up; and it was one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.

19And he said to his father, "My head! My head!" And he said to the servant, "Carry him to his mother."

20And he carried him and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees until noon, and he died.

21And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and she closed about him and left.

22And she called her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the she-asses; and I will run up to the man of God and return."

23And he said, "Why are you going to him today; it is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath." And she said, "It's all right."

24And she saddled the she-ass, and she said to her servant, "Drive and go forward. Don't keep back from riding because of me unless I tell you."

25And she went and came to the man of God, to Mt. Carmel; and it was when the man of God saw her from afar, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Here is that Shunemmitess.

26Now please run toward her, and say to her, 'Are you well? Is your husband well? Is the child well?' " And she said, "We are well."

27And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and she took hold of his feet; and Gehazi approached to push her away. Now the man of God said, "Let her be, for her soul is bitter to her, and the Lord hid it from me and did not tell me."

28And she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?' "

29And he said to Gehazi, "Gird your loins and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him: and you shall place my staff on the lad's face."

30And the lad's mother said, "As the Lord lives and by your life, I will not leave you." And he rose and went after her.

31And Gehazi went ahead of them, and he placed the staff on the lad's face, and there was no sound nor any attention; and he returned toward him and told him saying, "The lad has not awakened."

32And Elisha came into the house, and behold the lad was dead, laid out on his bed.

33And he came and closed the door about both of them; and he prayed to the Lord.

34And he went up and lay on the child, and placed his mouth on his mouth and his eyes on his eyes and his palms on his palms, and he prostrated himself upon him: and the child's flesh became warm.

35And he returned and walked in the house once here and once there, and he went up and prostrated himself upon him: and the lad sneezed up to seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.

36And he summoned Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunemmitess." And he called her, and she came to him, and he said, "Pick up your son."

37And she came and fell at his feet and bowed to the ground; and she picked up her son and departed.

Happy Halloween season! Here's another stab at my own take of Carrie White, based on her book description. I'm super happy with how these turned out! I'd love to tackle some of the other characters in the book eventually, especially Margaret!

EDIT:

Now available as an art print here!

Chapter 100. The Lion.

Rostam rode out in high spirits. An adventure! Great deeds! Glory! He rode all day and all night, and soon found out that there’s a reason people sleep at night. Exhausted and hungry, he caught sight of a herd of wild asses up ahead. Continue reading Chapter 100. The Lion.
