2 Kings 4:33-36
Context4:33 He went in by himself and closed the door. 1 Then he prayed to the Lord. 4:34 He got up on the bed and spread his body out over 2 the boy; he put his mouth on the boy’s 3 mouth, his eyes over the boy’s eyes, and the palms of his hands against the boy’s palms. He bent down over him, and the boy’s skin 4 grew warm. 4:35 Elisha 5 went back and walked around in the house. 6 Then he got up on the bed again 7 and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. 4:36 Elisha 8 called to Gehazi and said, “Get the Shunammite woman.” So he did so 9 and she came to him. He said to her, “Take your son.”
