2 Kings 4:37 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:37

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to
the ground
In reverence of him, and with the most profound gratitude and thankfulness for the mercy received:

and took up her son, and went out;
of the chamber into her house, with great joy and gladness.

2 Kings 4:37 In-Context

35 Elisha got up, walked back and forth across the room once, and then stretched himself out again on the child. This time the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!

36 Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. “Call the child’s mother!” he said. And when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”

37 She fell at his feet and bowed before him, overwhelmed with gratitude. Then she took her son in her arms and carried him downstairs.

38 Elisha now returned to Gilgal, and there was a famine in the land. One day as the group of prophets was seated before him, he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on the fire, and make some stew for the rest of the group.”

39 One of the young men went out into the field to gather herbs and came back with a pocketful of wild gourds. He shredded them and put them into the pot without realizing they were poisonous.
