22. Then 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 return."
23. He said, "Why will you go to him today? It is neither new moon nor sabbath." And she said, "It will be well."
24. Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, "Drive and go forward; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."
25. So she went and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.
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. When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me."
28. Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not deceive me'?"
29. Then he said to Gehazi, "Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand, and go your way; if you meet any man, do not salute him, and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him; and lay my staff on the lad's face."
30. The mother of the lad said, "As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you." And he arose and followed her.
