She took him upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God, left ⌞the room⌟, and shut the door behind her.
He said to her, “Give me your son.” Elijah took him from her arms, carried him to the upstairs room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.
Let’s make a small room on the roof and put a bed, table, chair, and lamp stand there for him. He can stay there whenever he comes to visit us.”
The servant picked him up and brought him to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, when he died.
She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys. I will go quickly to the man of God and come back again.”
When Elisha came to the house, the dead boy was lying on Elisha’s bed.
She went and told the man of God. He said, “Sell the oil, and pay your debt. The rest is for you and your children.”
