Verse 22 is found in chapter 13 of 2 Kings. After Elisha’s death and burial, a dead man comes back to life when he comes into contact with the prophet’s bones. The account extraordinarily emphasizes the continuing life-giving power associated with Elisha’s ministry even after his death. Later, Israel recovers cities from Syria according to the word Elisha had spoken. The narrative connects the miracle and territorial recovery to show that the prophet’s death does not mean the end of his word’s effectiveness. God continues to fulfill what he announced through Elisha.
