So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?”

“Call her,” Elisha said. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.

So he picked him up and took him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon and then died.

She summoned her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can hurry to the man of God and come back again.”

So she came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.

So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tuck your mantle under your belt, take my staff with you, and go. If you meet anyone, don’t stop to greet him, and if a man greets you, don’t answer him. Then place my staff on the boy’s face.”

The boy’s mother said to Elisha, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.

Gehazi went ahead of them and placed the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or sign of life, so he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy didn’t wake up.”

So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the Lord.

So he set it before them, and as the Lord had promised, they ate and had some left over.

So Naaman went and told his master what the girl from the land of Israel had said.

So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.

Aren’t Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn’t I wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and left in a rage.

So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the command of the man of God. Then his skin was restored and became like the skin of a small boy, and he was clean.

So he said to him, “Go in peace.”

So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”

Therefore, Naaman’s skin disease will cling to you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence diseased, resembling snow.

So he went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

Then he said, “Pick it up.” So he reached out and took it.

Consequently, the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had told him about. The man of God repeatedly warned the king, so the king would be on his guard.
