20. So he took him and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.
21. And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of Elohim, and shut the door on him, and went out.
22. And she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the young men and one of the donkeys, so that I hurry to the man of Elohim and return.”
23. And he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said, “It is well!”
24. And she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Drive and go, do not slow down, except I speak to you.”
25. And she went, and came to the man of Elohim at Mount Karmel. And it came to be, when the man of Elohim saw her at a distance, that he said to his servant Gĕḥazi, “See, the Shunammite woman.
26. “Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ” And she answered, “It is well.”
27. And she came to the man of Elohim at the hill, and she caught him by the feet, but Gĕḥazi came near to push her away. But the man of Elohim said, “Leave her alone, for her being is bitter in her, and יהוה has hidden it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”
28. And she said, “Did I ask a son of my master? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29. And he said to Gĕḥazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go. When you meet anyone, do not greet him, and when anyone greets you, do not answer him. And you shall lay my staff on the face of the child.”
30. And the mother of the child said, “As יהוה lives, and as your being lives, I do not leave you.” And he rose and followed her.
31. And Gĕḥazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child. But there was no voice and there was no hearing, so he went back to meet him, and reported to him, saying, “The child has not awakened.”
32. And Elisha came into the house and saw the child was dead, lying on his bed,
33. and he went in, and shut the door behind the two of them, and prayed to יהוה.
34. And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.
35. And he returned and walked back and forth in the house, then went up and stretched himself out on him. And the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
