Take Your Son
When Elisha arrived at the house, there was the child lying dead
on his bed. He went in by himself and closed the door. Then
he prayed to the Lord. He got up on the bed and spread his body
out over the boy; he put his mouth on the boy’s 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 grew warm.
Elisha went back and walked around in the house. Then he got up
on the bed again and bent down over him.
The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
Elisha called to Gehazi and said, “Get the Shunammite woman.”
So he did so and she came to him. He said to her,
“Take your son.”
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed down.
Then she picked up her son and left.”
2 Kings 4:32-37 (NET)
