She then went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him and went out.
When Elisha entered the house, there was the child, dead and laying on his bed.
Please, let’s make a little walled room on the roof, and let’s put there a bed, a table, a chair, and a lampstand for him. Then whenever he comes to us, he can stay there.”
Then she came and told the man of God. So he said, “Go sell the oil and pay your debt, then you and your sons can live on the rest.”
He said to her, “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her arms, carried him up to the upper room where he was staying and laid him on his own bed.
So he picked him up and brought him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon, and then died.
Then she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys that I may run to the man of God and come back.”
