2 Kings 4:25–37

²⁵And she goeth, and cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill of Carmel, and it cometh to pass, at the man of God’s seeing her from over-against, that he saith unto Gehazi his young man, ‘Lo, this Shunammite; ²⁶now, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to thee? is there peace to thy husband? is there peace to the lad?’ and she saith, ‘Peace.’ ²⁷And she cometh in unto the man of God, unto the hill, and layeth hold on his feet, and Gehazi cometh nigh to thrust her away, and the man of God saith, ‘Let her alone, for her soul is bitter to her, and Jehovah hath hidden it from me, and hath not declared it to me.’ ²⁸And she saith, ‘Did I ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?’ ²⁹And he saith to Gehazi, ‘Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go; when thou dost meet a man, thou dost not salute him; and when a man doth salute thee, thou dost not answer him; and thou hast laid my staff on the face of the youth.’ ³⁰And the mother of the youth saith, ‘Jehovah liveth, and thy soul liveth—if I leave thee;’ and he riseth and goeth after her. ³¹And Gehazi hath passed on before them, and layeth the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turneth back to meet him, and declareth to him, saying, ‘The youth hath not awaked.’ ³²And Elisha cometh in to the house, and lo, the youth is dead, laid on his bed, ³³and he goeth in and shutteth the door upon them both, and prayeth unto Jehovah. ³⁴And he goeth up, and lieth down on the lad, and putteth his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretcheth himself upon him, and the flesh of the lad becometh warm; ³⁵and he turneth back and walketh in the house, once hither and once thither, and goeth up and stretcheth himself upon him, and the youth sneezeth till seven times, and the youth openeth his eyes. ³⁶And he calleth unto Gehazi, and saith, ‘Call unto this Shunammite;’ and he calleth her, and she cometh in unto him, and he saith, ‘Lift up thy son.’ ³⁷And she goeth in, and falleth at his feet, and boweth herself to the earth, and lifteth up her son, and goeth out.
