2 Kings 4:33-36

4:33 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.”
