2 Kings 13:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ This made Elisha angry, and he said to the king, “You should have struck five or six times, and then you would have won complete victory over the Syrians; but now you will defeat them only three times.”

²⁰ Elisha died and was buried.

Every year bands of Moabites used to invade the land of Israel. ²¹ One time during a funeral, one of those bands was seen, and the people threw the corpse into Elisha's tomb and ran off.^[a] As soon as the body came into contact with Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.
