The child’s mother goes to the man of God to Mount Carmel and catches hold of his feet, and Gehazi lays the staff on the child’s face

아이의 어미가 갈멜산으로 가서 하나님의 사람의 발을 안고 게하시가 지팡이를 아이의 얼굴에 놓음

2 Kings 4:25–31: the child’s mother goes, and comes to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God sees her afar off, he says to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite. Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answers, “It is well.” When she comes to the man of God to the hill, she catches hold of his feet. Gehazi comes near to thrust her away; but the man of God says, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.” Then she says, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?” Then he says to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, don’t greet him; and if anyone greets you, don’t answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.” The child’s mother says, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arises, and follows her. Gehazi goes ahead of them, and lays the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returns to meet him, and tells him, “The child has not awakened.” WEB reads “So she went” at 4:25, and the Korean Revised Version gives that verse no subject: this summary calls her the child’s mother, as 4:30 does. The Korean Revised Version reads 산에 이르러 (to the mountain) at 4:27, where WEB reads “to the hill”, and names Elisha at 4:29, 4:30 and 4:31 (엘리사가, 엘리사를), where WEB reads “he” and “him”.
