2 Kings 13:21

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band of men; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and when the man was let down, and touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.

KJV

Quidam autem sepelientes hominem, viderunt latrunculos, et projecerunt cadaver in sepulchro Elisei. Quod cum tetigisset ossa Elisei, revixit homo, et stetit super pedes suos.

Vulgate

καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτῶν θαπτόντων τὸν ἄνδρα, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἴδον τὸν μονόζωνον, καὶ ἔρριψαν τὸν ἄνδρα ἐν τῷ τάφῳ Ἐλεισαῖε· καὶ ἐπορεύθη καὶ ἥψατο τῶν ὀστέων Ἐλεισαῖε, καὶ ἔζησεν καὶ ἀνέστη ἐπὶ τοὺς πόδας αὐτοῦ.

LXX

And it came to pass, as they were burying a man, that, behold, they spied a band; and they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha: and as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
