2 Kings 4:34-35

4:34 He got up on the bed and spread his body out over ¹  the boy; he put his mouth on the boy’s ²  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 ³  grew warm. 4:35 Elisha ⁴  went back and walked around in the house. ⁵  Then he got up on the bed again ⁶  and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
