2 Kings 4:25
The distance was about sixteen or seventeen miles.
23 So he said, “Why are you going to him today? It is neither the aNew Moon nor the Sabbath.” And she said,1 “It is well.”
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.”
25 And so she departed, and went to the man of God aat Mount Carmel. So it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, the Shunammite woman!
26 Please run now to meet her, and say to her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?’ ” And she answered, “It is well.”
27 Now when she came to the man of God at the hill, she caught him by the feet, but Gehazi came near to push her away. But the man of God said, “Let her alone; for her soul is in deep distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
28 So she said, “Did I ask a son of my lord? aDid I not say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, a“Get yourself ready, and take my staff in your hand, and be on your way. If you meet anyone, bdo not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not answer him; but clay my staff on the face of the child.”
