2 Kings 4:24-26
New English Translation
24 She saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Lead on.[a] Do not stop unless I say so.”[b]
25 So she went to visit[c] the prophet at Mount Carmel. When he[d] saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, it’s the Shunammite woman. 26 Now, run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi,[e] “Everything’s fine.”
