2 Kings 4:29-31

International Standard Version

²⁹ At this he told Gehazi, “Get ready to run!^[a] Take my staff in your hand, and get on the road. Don’t greet anyone you meet. If anyone greets you, don’t respond. Just go lay my staff on the youngster’s face.”

³⁰ At this, the youngster’s mother replied, “As long as you and the Lord live, I’m not leaving you!” So he got up and followed her.

³¹ Meanwhile, Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the youngster’s face, but when there was no sound or reaction, he returned, met Elisha,^[b] and told him, “The youngster has shown no sign of awakening.”
