Gill's Notes on the Bible

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain,.... Himself and the dead child; that nobody might come in and interrupt him in his prayers for the restoration of it to life, nor see the motions and gestures he used, and the postures he put himself in:

and prayed unto the Lord; that he would restore the child to life.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Prayed - Prayer was the only remedy in such a case as this (compare the marginal reference and James 5:16), though it did not exclude the use of other means 2 Kings 4:34.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 33. Prayed unto the Lord. — He had no power of his own by which he could restore the child.
