The man said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother." 20When he had carried and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door [of the small upper room] behind him and left. 22Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so that I may run to the man of God and return." 23He said, "Why are you going to him today? It is neither the New Moon nor the Sabbath." And she said, "It will be all right." 24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Drive [the animal] fast; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you." 25So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.

So she went and came unto the man of God at Mount Carmel,.... Where Elijah used to be, and where, perhaps, was a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting x, was sixteen miles from Shunem:
and it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off; as he might from the eminence of the mountain:
that he said to Gehazi his servant, behold, yonder is that Shunammite; that has so often and so hospitably entertained us at her house.
x Travels, &c. p. 207.
