30. But the child’s mother said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I won’t leave you!” So he got up and followed her.
31. Gehazi went on ahead. He laid the walking stick on the child’s face. But the child did not talk or move. Then Gehazi went back to meet Elisha. He told Elisha, “The child has not awakened.”
32. Elisha came into the house. There was the child, lying dead on his bed.
33. When Elisha entered the room, he shut the door. Only he and the child were in the room. Then Elisha prayed to the Lord.
34. He went to the bed and lay on the child. He put his mouth on the child’s mouth. He put his eyes on the child’s eyes and his hands on the child’s hands. He stretched himself out on top of the child. Then the child’s skin became warm.
35. Elisha turned away and walked around the room. Then he went back and put himself on the child again. Then the child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36. Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite!” And he did. When she came, Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
37. She came in and fell at Elisha’s feet. She bowed facedown to the floor. Then she picked up her son and went out.
