2 Kings 4:30 Context
28Then shee said, Did I desire a sonne of my Lord ? did I not say, Doe not deceiue me? 29Then he said to Gehazi, Gird vp thy loines, and take my staffe in thine hand, and goe thy way: if thou meete any man, salute him not: and if any salute thee, answere him not againe: and lay my staffe vpon the face of the childe. 30And the mother of the childe said, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. And he arose, and followed her. 31And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staffe vpon the face of the child, but there was neither voyce, nor hearing: wherefore he went againe to meete him, and tolde him, saying, The child is not awaked. 32And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid vpon his bed.
