Or Ghehazi li aveva preceduti e aveva posto il bastone sulla faccia del fanciullo, ma non ci fu n voce n risposta. Perci egli torn incontro ad Eliseo e gli rifer la cosa, dicendo: "Il fanciullo non si svegliato".

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Gehazi passed on before them,.... The prophet and the Shunammite:
and laid the staff upon the face of the child; as he was ordered:
but there was neither voice nor hearing: it seems as if he spoke when he laid the staff on the child, but it heard and answered him not, so that there was no sign of life in it:
wherefore he went again to meet him; upon the road between Carmel and Shunem:
and told him, saying, the child is not awaked; by which he expresses its being dead; or, if he knew nothing of its death, he supposed it fast asleep, which was the reason of its not hearing and answering, though the former seems best.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
There was neither voice nor hearing - Compare 1 Kings 18:29.
The child is not awakened - See 2 Kings 4:20. The euphemism by which death is spoken of as a sleep was already familiar to the Jews (see 1 Kings 1:21 note).
