2 Kings 4:29-31

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁹ Then he said to Gehazi, “^(A)Gird up your loins and ^(B)take my staff in your hand, and go; if you meet anyone, do not ^[a](C)greet him, and if anyone ^[b]greets you, do not answer him; and ^(D)lay my staff on the boy’s face.” ³⁰ But the mother of the boy said, “^(E)As Yahweh lives and as your soul lives, I will not forsake you.” And he arose and followed her. ³¹ Now Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or ^[c]response. So he returned to meet him and told him, saying, “The boy ^(F)has not awakened.”
