God's Word Translation

2 Kings 4:32-37 God's Word Translation (GW)

32. When Elisha came to the house, the dead boy was lying on Elisha’s bed.

33. He went into the room, closed the door, and prayed to the Lord.

34. Then he lay on the boy, putting his mouth on the boy’s mouth, his eyes on the boy’s eyes, his hands on the boy’s hands. He crouched over the boy’s body, and it became warm.

35. Elisha got up, walked across the room and came back, and then got back on the bed and crouched over him. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

36. Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunem woman.” Gehazi called her. When she came to him, he said, “Take your son.”

37. Then she immediately bowed at his feet. She took her son and left.
