29. Then he said to Gehazi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go your way: if you meet any man, greet him not; and if any greet you, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30. And the mother of the child said, As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you. And he arose, and followed her.
31. And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Therefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child has not awakened.
32. And when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.
33. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon the two of them, and prayed unto the LORD.
