30
Then the mother of the child said, As the LORD lives and
as thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And he arose and followed her.
31
And Gehazi had gone on before them and had laid the staff upon the face of the child, but
there was neither voice, nor attention. Therefore he went again to meet him and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32
And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was laid dead upon his bed.
33
He went in therefore and shut the door upon both of them and prayed unto the LORD.
34
Then he went up and lay upon the child and put his mouth upon his mouth and his eyes upon his eyes and his hands upon his hands;
thus he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.
35
Then he returned and walked through the house to and fro and went up and stretched himself upon him again; and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36
And he called Gehazi and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And as she was coming in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
37
Then she entered in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground and took up her son and went out.
38
And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Then there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets
were sitting before him, so he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot and make pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39
And one went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine and gathered his lap full of wild grapes and came and shred
them into the pot of pottage, for they knew
them not.
40
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of that pottage, that they cried out and said, O
thou man of God,
there is death in the pot. And they could not eat it.
