2 Kings 4:18-27

18The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers.

19He said to his father, “My head! My head!” His father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20So he picked him up and took him to his mother. He sat on her lap until noon and then died.

21She went up and laid him down on the prophet’s bed. She shut the door behind her and left.

22She called to her husband, “Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can go see the prophet quickly and then return.”

23He said, “Why do you want to go see him today? It is not the new moon or the Sabbath.” She said, “Everything’s fine.”

24She saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Lead on. Do not stop unless I say so.”

25So she went to visit the prophet at Mount Carmel. When he saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, it’s the Shunammite woman.

26Now, run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi, “Everything’s fine.”

27But when she reached the prophet on the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the prophet said, “Leave her alone, for she is very upset. The Lord has kept the matter hidden from me; he didn’t tell me about it.”
