Bible. Kings, 2nd
12:004:030 And the mother of the child said, As the LORD liveth, and as
thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and
followed her.
12:004:031 And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the
face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing.
Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The
child is not awaked.
12:004:032 And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was
dead, and laid upon his bed.
12:004:033 He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and
prayed unto the LORD.
12:004:034 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon
his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his
hands: and stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of
the child waxed warm.
12:004:035 Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went
up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed
seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
12:004:036 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he
called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take
up thy son.
12:004:037 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to
the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
12:004:038 And Elisha came again to Gilgal: and there was a dearth in the
land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him:
and he said unto his servant, Set on the great pot, and seethe
pottage for the sons of the prophets.
12:004:039 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a
wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and
came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew
them not.
12:004:040 So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as
they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and
said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they
could not eat thereof.
12:004:041 But he said, Then bring meal. And he cast it into the pot; and
he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there
was no harm in the pot.
12:004:042 And there came a man from Baalshalisha, and brought the man of
God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley, and
full ears of corn in the husk thereof. And he said, Give unto
the people, that they may eat.
12:004:043 And his servitor said, What, should I set this before an
hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may
eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave
thereof.
12:004:044 So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof,
according to the word of the LORD.
