2 Kings 13:19-21
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Then the man of God was [a]angry with him, and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, so thou shouldest have smitten Aram, till thou hadst consumed it, where now thou shalt smite Aram but thrice.
20 ¶ So Elisha died, and they buried him. And certain bands of the Moabites came into the land that year.
21 And as they were burying a man: behold, they saw the soldiers: therefore they cast the man into the sepulcher of Elisha. And when the man was down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he [b]revived and stood upon his feet.
