26 Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ” And she answered, “It is well.”
27 Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, “Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28 So she said, “Did I ask a son of my lord? aDid I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, a“Get yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, bdo not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not answer him; but clay my staff on the face of the child.”
30 And the mother of the child said, a“As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, bI will not leave you.” So he arose and followed her.
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child has anot awakened.”
32 When Elisha came into the house, there was the child, lying dead on his bed.
