2 Kings 4:25-37

25So she went on and came to the man of God at 1Mount Carmel.

When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, that person there is the Shunammite. 26Please run now to meet her and say to her, ‘Is it going well for you? Is it going well for your husband? Is it going well for the child?’” Then she 2answered, “It is going well.” 27But she came to the man of God 3at the hill and took hold of his feet. And Gehazi came up to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is 4troubled within her; and the Lord has concealed it from me and has not informed me.” 28Then she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ‘5Do not give me false hope’?”

29Then he said to Gehazi, “67Get ready and 8take my staff in your hand, and go; if you meet anyone, do not 910greet him, and if anyone 11greets you, do not reply to him. And 12lay my staff on the boy’s face.” 30The mother of the boy said, “13As surely as the Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her. 31Then Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or 14response. So he returned to meet him and informed him, saying, “The boy 15has not awakened.”

32When Elisha entered the house, behold the boy was dead, laid on his bed. 33So he entered and 16shut the door behind them both, and he prayed to the Lord. 34Then 17he 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. 35Then he returned and walked in the house back and forth once, and went up and 18bent down on him; and the boy sneezed seven times, then the boy opened his eyes. 36And he called Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, “Pick up your son.” 37Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed down to the ground, and 19she picked up her son and left.
