2 Kings 4:25 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:25

So she went and came unto the man of God at Mount Carmel,
&c.] Where Elijah used to be, and where, perhaps, was a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting ^F24, 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.

2 Kings 4:25 In-Context

23 But he said, "Why go to him today? It's neither New Moon or Sabbath." She replied, "Everything is all right."

24 Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Hurry, don't slow the pace for me unless I tell you."

25 So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his attendant Gehazi, "Look, there's the Shunammite woman.

26 Run out to meet her and ask, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your son all right?' " And she answered, "Everything's all right."

27 When she came up to the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone-she is in severe anguish, and the Lord has hidden it from me. He hasn't told me."
