2 KINGS 4:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.”
The child sneezes seven times and opens his eyes — the return to consciousness is marked by bodily function (sneezing), the most mundane sign that life has returned. The number seven (sheba) carries covenantal significance; the complete restoration is divinely sealed.
