2 Kings 4:32-38 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

38. When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. The sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, “Put on the big cooking pot, and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
