2 Kings 4

Commentary

In 2 Kings 4, we see the story of the Shunammite woman and her son. This woman was a faithful follower of the Lord and had shown hospitality to the prophet Elisha. In return, Elisha promised her a son. The woman was blessed with a son, but he died suddenly. In her grief, she went to Elisha for help. Elisha responded by sending his servant to lay on the boy, and the boy was restored to life. This story is a reminder of the power of God and the faithfulness of his people. The Shunammite woman was willing to trust in the Lord and his prophet, and her faith was rewarded. The Lord is faithful to those who trust in him, and he will always provide for his people. This story also serves as a reminder of the importance of hospitality. The Shunammite woman showed hospitality to Elisha, and in return, she was blessed with a son. We too should show hospitality to those in need, for it is a way to honor the Lord.
