31. Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
32. When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
33. He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
34. 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. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
