Reading the Bible in Its Entirety
The second selection describes one of the great miracles ascribed to Elisha. The prophet rewards a hostess with the promise of a son, despite her husband's old age. However, the boy dies from mysterious causes, causing his mother to send for Elisha and ask why God would have given a son only to have him die so soon. The prophet comes again to the house and, through prayer, brought the boy back to life.
