2 Kings 4:18-27

18Now when the child was grown, one day he went out to his father among the reapers.

19Then he said to his father, “My head, my head!” So he said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

20So he picked him up and brought him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon, and then died.

21She then went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, shut the door on him and went out.

22Then she called to her husband, and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys that I may run to the man of God and come back.”

23But he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither New Moon nor Shabbat.” But she said, “It will be well.”

24Then she saddled the donkey and said to her servant, “Move on! Don’t slow down riding unless I tell you.”

25So she set out and came near the man of God at Mount Carmel. Upon seeing her from a distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite.

26Please, run now to meet her and ask her: ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the boy?’” She answered, “It is well.”

27But when she arrived at the mountain, up to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet. Then Gehazi stepped forward to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is bitter within her, yet Adonai has hid it from me and has not told me.”
