24. Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Lead on, and do not hold back for me unless I tell you.”
25. So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.And when the man of God saw her far off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, over there is the Shunammite woman.
26. Now run to meet her, and say to her, Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the child all right?”And she said, “It is all right.”
27. When she came to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed his feet. Gehazi approached to push her away. But the man of God said, “Let her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.”
28. Then she said, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, Do not give me false hope?”
29. Then he said to Gehazi, “Prepare yourself, take my staff in your hand, and go. If you find anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him, and lay my staff on the face of the boy.”
30. Then the boy’s mother said, “As the Lord lives, and as you live, I will not leave without you.” And he got up and followed her.
31. Gehazi passed through ahead of them and laid the staff on the face of the boy, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and told him, “The boy is not awake.”
32. When Elisha came into the house, he saw that the boy was dead, lying on his bed.
33. So he went in, and shut the door on the two of them, and prayed to the Lord.
34. He went up and lay on the child, put his face on his face, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. Then he bent over the child, and the child’s flesh warmed.
35. Then he got down, walked once back and forth in the house, and went up, and bent over him; the boy sneezed seven times, and the boy opened his eyes.
36. Then Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her, and she came to him. Then he said, “Pick up your son.”
37. Then she came in, fell at his feet, and bowed down to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.
