When Elisha came to the house, the dead boy was lying on Elisha’s bed.
Afterwards, the son of the woman who owned the house got sick. He got so sick that finally no life was left in him.
She took him upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God, left ⌞the room⌟, and shut the door behind her.
Gehazi went ahead of them and put the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi came back to meet the man of God. Gehazi told him, “The boy didn’t wake up.”
He went into the room, closed the door, and prayed to the Lord.
When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
