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."

Bible Verse Review

fell at his feet: 2 Kings 4:27, 2 Kings 2:15, 1 Kings 17:24

Reciprocal: Genesis 48:12 - he bowed himself 1 Samuel 25:24 - fell 1 Kings 17:23 - thy son liveth

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground,.... In reverence of him, and with the most profound gratitude and thankfulness for the mercy received:

and took up her son, and went out; of the chamber into her house, with great joy and gladness.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 37. She went in and fell at his feet — Few can enter into the feelings of this noble woman. What suspense must she have felt during the time that the prophet was employed in the slow process referred to above! for slow in its own nature it must have been, and exceedingly exhausting to the prophet himself.
