2 Kings 4:32-35 Common English Bible (CEB)

32. Elisha came into the house and saw the boy lying dead on his bed.

33. He went in and closed the door behind the two of them. Then he prayed to the Lord.

34. He got up on the bed and lay down on top of the child, putting his mouth on the boy’s mouth, his eyes on the boy’s eyes, his hands on the boy’s hands. And as he bent over him, the child’s skin grew warm.

35. Then Elisha got down and paced back and forth in the house. Once again he got up on the bed and bent over the boy, at which point the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
