The Shunammite’s Son

¹⁸ When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father, to the reapers.

³¹ Then Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or ^[a]response. So he returned to meet him and informed him, saying, “The boy ^(A)has not awakened.”

³² When Elisha entered the house, behold the boy was dead, laid on his bed. ³³ So he entered and ^(B)shut the door behind them both, and he prayed to the Lord. ³⁴ Then ^(C)he got up on the bed and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, his hands on his hands, and he bent down on him; and the flesh of the child became warm. ³⁵ Then he returned and walked in the house back and forth once, and went up and ^(D)bent down on him; and the boy sneezed seven times, then the boy opened his eyes.
