He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 33 is found in chapter 4 of 2 Kings. The Shunammite woman’s son becomes ill and dies, transforming the promise previously received into a profound crisis. The woman seeks Elisha and refuses to accept a superficial solution. The prophet prays and acts persistently until the child returns to life. The episode is one of the clearest expressions of God’s life-giving power in Elisha’s ministry. It also develops an important narrative tension: receiving a gift from God does not automatically eliminate suffering. The woman’s faith appears in a situation where the promise seems to have been nullified, and restoration again confirms the authority of the prophetic word.

Und er ging hinein und schloß die Tür zu für sie beide und betete zu dem HERRN
Entrando él entonces, cerró la puerta sobre ambos, y oró a Jehová.
Entró, cerró la puerta tras los dos y oró a Jehová.
Elisée entra et ferma la porte sur eux deux, et il pria l'Eternel.
Ed egli entrò nella camera, e serrò l’uscio sopra sè, e sopra il fanciullo, e fece orazione al Signore.
Então entrou ele, e fechou a porta sobre eles ambos, e orou ao SENHOR.
他進去,關上門,只有他們兩個人,他就向耶和華祈禱。
