2 Kings 4:32-36

4:32 When Elisha arrived at the house, there was ¹  the child lying dead on his bed. 4:33 He went in by himself and closed the door. ²  Then he prayed to the Lord. 4:34 He got up on the bed and spread his body out over ³  the boy; he put his mouth on the boy’s ⁴  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 ⁵  grew warm. 4:35 Elisha ⁶  went back and walked around in the house. ⁷  Then he got up on the bed again ⁸  and bent down over him. The child sneezed seven times and opened his eyes. 4:36 Elisha ⁹  called to Gehazi and said, “Get the Shunammite woman.” So he did so ¹⁰  and she came to him. He said to her, “Take your son.”
