2 Reyes 4:34 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:34

And he went up
To the bed, which was on an ascent in the chamber, (See Gill on 2 Kings 1:4) and lay upon the child; as Elijah did on the widow's son of Zarephath, ( 1 Kings 17:21 )

and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his
hands upon his hands, and stretched himself upon the child;
that is, he did each of these one after another, since the disproportion of their bodies would not admit of their being done together:

and the flesh of the child waxed warm;
not from any virtue imparted to it by these motions and actions of the prophet, but from life being infused into it by the Lord, which caused an heat in the several parts of the body.

32 Y venido Eliseo 谩 la casa, he aqu铆 el ni帽o que estaba tendido muerto sobre su cama.
33 Entrando 茅l entonces, cerr贸 la puerta sobre ambos, y or贸 谩 Jehov谩.
34 Despu茅s subi贸, y ech贸se sobre el ni帽o, poniendo su boca sobre la boca de 茅l, y sus ojos sobre sus ojos, y sus manos sobre las manos suyas; as铆 se tendi贸 sobre 茅l, y calent贸se la carne del joven.

36 Entonces llam贸 茅l 谩 Giezi, y d铆jole: Llama 谩 esta Sunamita. Y 茅l la llam贸. Y entrando ella, 茅l le dijo: Toma tu hijo.
