004:030 The mother of the child said, As Yahweh lives, and as your
soul lives, I will not leave you. He arose, and followed her.
004:031 Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face
of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing.
Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child
has not awakened.
004:032 When Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead,
and laid on his bed.
004:033 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both,
and prayed to Yahweh.
004:034 He went up, and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth,
and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands:
and he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the
child grew warm.
004:035 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth;
and went up, and stretched himself on him: and the child
sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
004:036 He called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite.
So he called her. When she was come in to him, he said,
Take up your son.
004:037 Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself
to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
004:038 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a dearth in the land;
and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him;
and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil
stew for the sons of the prophets.
004:039 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine,
and gathered of it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred
them into the pot of stew; for they didn't recognize them.
004:040 So they poured out for the men to eat. It happened,
as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out,
and said, man of God, there is death in the pot.
They could not eat of it.
004:041 But he said, Then bring meal. He cast it into the pot;
and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat.
There was no harm in the pot.
004:042 There came a man from Baal Shalishah, and brought the man
of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley,
and fresh ears of grain in his sack. He said, Give to the people,
that they may eat.
004:043 His servant said, What, should I set this before a hundred men?
But he said, Give the people, that they may eat; for thus
says Yahweh, They shall eat, and shall leave of it.
004:044 So he set it before them, and they ate, and left of it,
according to the word of Yahweh.
005:001 Now Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Syria,
was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him
Yahweh had given victory to Syria: he was also a mighty man
