2 Kings 4:32 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:32

And when Elisha was come into the house
Of the Shunamite, and into the chamber built for him:

behold, the child was dead, and laid upon the bed;
upon his bed, and where he found it really dead.

2 Kings 4:32 In-Context

30 The boy's mother said, "As sure as God lives and you live, you're not leaving me behind." And so Gehazi let her take the lead, and followed behind.

31 But Gehazi arrived first and laid the staff across the boy's face. But there was no sound - no sign of life. Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and said, "The boy hasn't stirred."

32 Elisha entered the house and found the boy stretched out on the bed dead.

33 He went into the room and locked the door - just the two of them in the room - and prayed to God.

34 He then got into bed with the boy and covered him with his body, mouth on mouth, eyes on eyes, hands on hands. As he was stretched out over him like that, the boy's body became warm.
