Reciprocal: 2 Kings 13:16 - Elisha Mark 7:33 - he took Mark 9:29 - by prayer Luke 8:51 - he suffered

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he went up,.... To the bed, which was on an ascent in the chamber, :- and lay upon the child; as Elijah did on the widow's son of Zarephath, 1 Kings 17:21

and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and stretched himself upon the child; that is, he did each of these one after another, since the disproportion of their bodies would not admit of their being done together:

and the flesh of the child waxed warm; not from any virtue imparted to it by these motions and actions of the prophet, but from life being infused into it by the Lord, which caused an heat in the several parts of the body.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Be stretched himself - Or, “prostrated himself.” The word is a different one from that used of Elijah, and expresses closer contact with the body. Warmth may have been actually communicated from the living body to the dead one; and Elisha’s persistence Hebrews 11:35, may have been a condition of the child’s return to life.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 34. Lay upon the child — Endeavoured to convey a portion of his own natural warmth to the body of the child; and probably endeavoured, by blowing into the child's mouth, to inflate the lungs, and restore respiration. He uses every natural means in his power to restore life, while praying to the Author of it to exert a miraculous influence. Natural means are in our power; those that are supernatural belong to God. We should always do our own work, and beg of God to do his.
