2 Kings / Question
Question source
2 Kings
After the child died, the woman went to Elisha, and he came to the house. Elisha went in, shut the door, prayed, and lay on the child, placing mouth, eyes, and hands on him. The child’s body became warm, he sneezed seven times, and opened his eyes (2 Kings 4:32–35).
32When Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid on his bed.
33He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to Yahweh.
34He 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 he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth; and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
