2 Kings 4:17-35

17And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.

18And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother.

20And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.

21And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of 1God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.

22And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will run to the man of 2God, and come again.

23And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.

24Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee.

25And she went and came to the man of 3God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of 4God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:

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 said, It is well.

27And she came to the man of 5God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of 6God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

28And she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?

29And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.

30And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.

31And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.

32And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.

33And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.

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 bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.

35And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.
