Contextual Overview

¹⁸ The boy grew up and one day went out to his father, who was with the grain harvesters. ¹⁹ The boy said to his father, "My head! My head!" The father said to his servant, "Take him to his mother!" ²⁰ The servant took him to his mother, and he lay on his mother's lap until noon. Then he died. ²¹ So she took him up and laid him on Elisha's bed. Then she shut the door and left. ²² She called to her husband, "Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys. Then I can go quickly to the man of God and return." ²³ The husband said, "Why do you want to go to him today? It isn't the New Moon or the Sabbath day." She said, "It will be all right." ²⁴ Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Lead on. Don't slow down for me unless I tell you." ²⁵ So she went to Elisha, the man of God, at Mount Carmel. When he saw her coming from far away, he said to his servant Gehazi, "Look, there's the Shunammite woman! ²⁶ Run to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is the boy all right?'" She answered, "Everything is all right." ²⁷ Then she came to Elisha at the hill and grabbed his feet. Gehazi came near to pull her away, but Elisha said to him, "Leave her alone. She's very upset, and the Lord has not told me about it. He has hidden it from me."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And she went up,.... Into the little chamber built for the prophet:

and laid him on the bed of the man of God; not from any imagination of any virtue in it to bring her child to life; though she might think of the prophet, and have faith that he could raise it to life, as Elijah raised the widow of Zarephath's son laid on his bed, of which she might have heard; but this being a private room, and into which none went, she laid it here to conceal its death from her husband and family, and to prevent grief, and that they might not bury it until she returned:

and shut the door upon him; that no creature might enter, and, do any damage to his corpse:

and went out; not out of the chamber, that she did before she shut the door, but out of the house.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 4:21. Laid him on the bed of the man of God — She had no doubt heard that Elijah had raised the widow's son of Zarephath to life; and she believed that he who had obtained this gift from God for her, could obtain his restoration to life.
