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 qui ait illi quam ob causam vadis ad eum hodie non sunt kalendae neque sabbatum quae respondit vale

24 stravitque asinam et praecepit puero mina et propera ne mihi moram facias in eundo et hoc age quod praecipio tibi

25 profecta est igitur et venit ad virum Dei in montem Carmeli cumque vidisset eam vir Dei de contra ait ad Giezi puerum suum ecce Sunamitis illa

26 vade ergo in occursum eius et dic ei rectene agitur circa te et circa virum tuum et circa filium tuum quae respondit recte

27 cumque venisset ad virum Dei in monte adprehendit pedes eius et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam et ait homo Dei dimitte illam anima enim eius in amaritudine est et Dominus celavit me et non indicavit mihi
