And he seide to a child, Take, and lede hym to his modir. 20 And whanne he hadde take, and hadde brouyt hym to his modir, sche settide hym on hir knees `til to myddai, and he was deed. 21 Sotheli she stiede, and leide hym on the litil bed of the man of God, and closide the dore. 22 And sche yede out, and clepide hir hosebonde, and seide, Y biseche, sende thou with me oon of the children, and an asse, and Y schal renne out `til to the man of God, and Y schal turne ayen. 23 And he seide to hir, For what cause goist thou to hym? to dai ben not calendis, nether sabat. And she answeride, Y schal go. 24 And sche sadlide the asse, and comaundide to the child, Dryue thou, and haaste; make thou not tariyng to me in goyng, and do thou this thing which Y comaunde to thee. 25 Therfor sche yede forth, and cam to the man of God, in to the hil of Carmele.

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.
