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.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Then he said to Gehazi, gird up thy loins,.... His loose and long garments about him, that he might make quicker dispatch in travelling:

and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy way; not for the sake of travelling with it, but for an end after mentioned:

if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not again; that so no time may be lost:

and lay my staff upon the face of the child; he not intending when he said this to go himself, but at the time, as near as he could, when this action was performed, would pray to God to restore life to the child; for he could not imagine that by this bare action it could be done.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Salute him not - Compare the marginal reference. Salutation is the forerunner of conversation and one bent on speed would avoid every temptation to loiter.

Lay my staff upon the face of the child - Perhaps to assuage the grief of the mother, by letting her feel that something was being done for her child.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 29. Salute him not — Make all the haste thou possibly canst, and lay my staff on the face of the child; he probably thought that it might be a case of mere suspended animation or a swoon, and that laying the staff on the face of the child might act as a stimulus to excite the animal motions.
