2 Kings 13:20–21
A Dead Man Touches Elisha's Bones and Instantly Comes Back to Life
Elisha dies and is buried. The following year a man is being buried when a raiding party of Moabites appears and the mourners, in panic, throw the corpse into Elisha's tomb to flee. The moment the dead man's body touches Elisha's bones, he revives and stands on his feet. No prayer is uttered. No ritual performed. The power stored in the prophet's skeleton is enough — death touching death, and life insisting on itself anyway.
