Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 35. - Then he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; literally, once and once fro; took, i.e., a single turn up and down the large room adjoining his bed-chamber - scarcely with any remedial object, but as men do when they are in distress and doubt. And went up, and stretched himself upon him - i.e. repeated his former act, laying himself upon the child, and warming it - and the child sneezed seven times - showing the recovery of suspended respiration - and the child opened his eyes; i.e. came to himself.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(35) He returned.--From off the bed.Walked in the house to and fro.--Or, in the chamber. Elisha's walking to and fro is an index of intense excitement. He was earnestly expecting the fulfilment of his prayer. Cornelius a Lapide thinks the prophet walked "ut ambulando excitaret majorem calorem quem puero communicaret" (!)The child sneezed.--The verb occurs here only. It denotes a faint rather than a loud sneeze. (Heb., 'atish?h; Job 41:10.) It is omitted by the LXX., which has, "and he bowed himself over the boy until seven times." The repeated sneezing was a sign of restored respiration. (Comp. Luke 7:15.)Keil supposes that whereas Elijah raised the widow's son at once, his successor only restored the Shunammite's son by degrees; and that this betokens an inferiority on the part of Elisha. But the narrative in 1Kings 17:17 seq. is plainly abridged.
