2 Kings 4:29-31
New King James Version
29 Then he said to Gehazi, (A)“Get[a] yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, (B)do not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not answer him; but (C)lay my staff on the face of the child.”
30 And the mother of the child said, (D)“As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not (E)leave you.” So he arose and followed her. 31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them, and laid the staff on the face of the child; but there was neither voice nor hearing. Therefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, “The child has (F)not awakened.”
