Read 2 Kings 4.8-37. This story is also similar to the one about Elijah in 1 Kings 17.17-24, which it has influenced (see 1 Kings 17). Mount Carmel (v. 25) was a holy site and the location of Elijah's victory in 1 Kings 18. It has apparently become Elisha's residence. Gehazi, Elisha's servant, is mentioned here (v. 25), without introduction, for the first time. as in 1 Kings 17, Elisha's resuscitation of the boy involves contactual magic (v.34), though the miracle is clearly seen as the Lord's doing (v.33). The boy's sneezing (v. 35) is a sign of life. Comments or Questions..
