¹⁸ And when the childe was growen, it fell on a day that he went out to his father, and to the reapers, ¹⁹ And he said vnto his father: My head, my head. And he saide to a lad: Cary him to his mother. ²⁰ And when he had taken him & brought him to his mother, he sate on her knees till noone, and then dyed. ²¹ And she went vp, and laide him on the bed of the man of God, & shut [the doore] vpon him, and went out, ²² And called vnto her husband, & sayde: Send with me I pray thee one of the young men, and one of the asses: for I will runne to the man of God, and come againe. ²³ And he saide: Wherefore wylt thou go to him? seing that to day is neither newe moone nor sabbath day. And she aunswered: All shalbe well. ²⁴ Then she sadled an asse, and saide to her seruaunt: Dryue and go forwarde, staye not for me to get vp, except I hyd thee. ²⁵ And so she went, and came vnto the man of God to mount Carmel: And it fortuned, that when the man of God sawe her farre of, he saide to Gehezi his seruaunt: Beholde, yonder is the Sunamite: ²⁶ Runne therefore to meete her, & saye vnto her: Is all well with thee, & with thy husband, and with the lad?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And when she came to the man of God to the hill,.... To the top of it:

she caught him by the feet; in reverence to him, and as a supplicant, she prostrated herself at his feet, and, out of affection to him, caught hold on them, and held them fast, and determined not to leave him until he had promised to go with her, see Matthew 28:9. It was usual with the Jews to lay hold on and kiss the feet or knees of those to whom they did homage, or made supplication, see Matthew 28:9.

Matthew 28:9- :, and so with the Greeks, as may be observed in various passages in Homer y and others:

but Gehazi came near to thrust her away; as being troublesome and disagreeable to his master, and not for her honour and credit:

and the man of God said, let her alone, for her soul is vexed within her; or "is bitter" z, full of trouble and distress, and knows not what to do, nor very well what she does:

and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me: what is the cause of this her trouble; for prophets did not know things of themselves, nor had they the vision of prophecy at their will and pleasure, but according to the will of God.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

She caught him by the feet - To lay hold of the knees or feet has always been thought in the East to add force to supplication, and is practiced even at the present day. Compare Matthew 18:29; John 11:32.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 27. The Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me. — In reference to this point he had not now the discernment of spirits. This, and the gift of prophecy, were influences which God gave and suspended as his infinite wisdom saw good.
