Tetapi ibu anak itu berkata: “Demi Yang Mahakekal yang hidup dan demi hidupmu, aku tidak akan meninggalkan engkau.” Lalu Elisa bangkit dan pergi mengikuti perempuan itu.

“The boy’s mother said: as the Lord lives, and as you live, etc.” [4:30]. The mother said to Elisha. As God lives and by your life, I will not leave you. You must go with me. Elisha went with her. Gehazi ran ahead and put the staff on the dead child, and he did not move. Gehazi ran toward Elisha and said: the child won’t get up or wake up. That is, he remains dead. Elisha came to the house and the child lay dead on his bed.
