When Elisha came into the house, he saw that the boy was dead, lying on his bed.
Later on, the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became terribly sick, so much so that he had no breath left in him.
She went up, and laid him down on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him, and went out.
Gehazi passed through ahead of them and laid the staff on the face of the boy, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and told him, “The boy is not awake.”
So he went in, and shut the door on the two of them, and prayed to the Lord.
When Jesus arrived, He found that he had been in the tomb four days already.
