Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

We may well suppose that, after the birth of this son, the prophet was doubly welcome to the good Shunammite. He had thought himself indebted to her, but henceforth, as long as she lives, she will think herself in his debt, and that she can never do too much for him.

Commenting on 2 Kings 4:18-37

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

And when Elisha was come into the house,.... Of the Shunamite, and into the chamber built for him: behold, the child was dead, and laid upon the bed; upon his bed, and where he found it really dead.

Adam Clarke Methodist @methodicalclarke

Behold, the child was dead - The prophet then saw that the body and spirit of the child were separated.
