2 Kings 4:26 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:26

Run now, I pray thee, to meet her
In respect to her, and to know the occasion of her coming; something is the cause of it:

and say unto her, is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is
it well with the child?
has any disaster befallen thee, thy husband, or the child? are all in good health? or does any disorder attend any of them?

and she answered, it is well;
as in general they were, the greatest part, she and her husband; and though the child was dead, yet, if gone to heaven, as she might hope, it was well too; and it is right to judge and say, that all that the Lord does is well: she gives a short answer to the servant, not being willing to be detained, and being desirous of telling her case to the prophet himself.

2 Kings 4:26 In-Context

24 She saddled the donkey. Then she told her servant, "Lead on. Don't slow down unless I tell you."

25 So she came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When he saw her coming at a distance, he told his servant Gehazi, "There is the woman from Shunem.

26 Run to meet her and ask her how she, her husband, and the boy are doing." "Everyone's fine," she answered.

27 When she came to the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi went to push her away. But the man of God said, "Leave her alone. She is bitter. The LORD has hidden the reason from me. He hasn't told me."

28 The woman said, "I didn't ask you for a son. I said, 'Don't raise my hopes.'"
