2 Esdras 7:39
King James VersionSource notes
“And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:”
Context
36Then said I, Abraham prayed first for the Sodomites, and Moses for the fathers that sinned in the wilderness:
37And Jesus after him for Israel in the time of Achan:
38And Samuel and David for the destruction: and Solomon for them that should come to the sanctuary:
39And Helias for those that received rain; and for the dead, that he might live:
40And Ezechias for the people in the time of Sennacherib: and many for many.
41Even so now, seeing corruption is grown up, and wickedness increased, and the righteous have prayed for the ungodly: wherefore shall it not be so now also?
42He answered me, and said, This present life is not the end where much glory doth abide; therefore have they prayed for the weak.
