27And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.
28Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?
29Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.
30But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.
31And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.
32And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.
33So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.
