Then he said to Gechazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, Don't greet him; and if anyone greets you, don't answer him again: and lay my staff on the face of the child.
30
The mother of the child said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. He arose, and followed her.
31
Gechazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child has not awakened.
32
When Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.
33
He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
34
He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands: and he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35
Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
36
He called Gechazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. When she was come in to him, he said, Take up your son.
37
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
38
Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.
