Ketika Elisa masuk ke dalam rumah itu, sungguh, anak itu sudah mati, terbaring di atas tempat tidurnya.
From David to Destruction
Unfortunately, once again, Geichazi fails. The fact that Geichazi does not close the door when performing this miracle223This is apparent from a comparison of Melachim II 4:31 with 4:32. indicates he is interested in showing off his ability to revive the dead to others. A concerned Jew may be able to invoke divine intervention to help another only if he purely seeks to benefit his friend. As Geichazi’s actions are tainted with a personal agenda, his efforts fail.
