2 Kings 4:25–37

²⁵So she went and came unto the man of God to ^smount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her ^tafar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that ^eShunammite: ²⁶Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. ²⁷And when she came to the man of God to ^uthe hill, she ^xcaught ^†him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is ^†vexed within her: and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. ²⁸Then she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? ^ydid I not say, Do not deceive me? ²⁹Then he said to Gehazi, ^zGird up thy loins, and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, ^asalute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again: and ^blay my staff upon the face of the child. ³⁰And the mother of the child said, ^cAs the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed her. ³¹And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor ^†hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not ^dawaked. ³²And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. ³³He went in therefore, and ^eshut the door upon them twain, and ^fprayed unto the Lord. ³⁴And 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: and he ^gstretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child waxed warm. ³⁵Then he returned, and walked in the house ^†to and fro; and went up, and ^gstretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. ³⁶And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this ^eShunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. ^37*Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and ^htook up her son, and went out.
