Context — Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son
34Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.
35Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.
36Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
37She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out. 38When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”Cross References

2 Kings 4:36 Summary
In 2 Kings 4:36, Elisha tells the Shunammite woman to 'Pick up your son', which means that her son has been brought back to life by God's power, as seen in the preceding verses. This is a beautiful picture of God's love and care for His people, and it reminds us that He is always with us, even in the toughest times (as promised in Isaiah 43:2 and Romans 8:38-39). Just like the Shunammite woman, we can trust in God's goodness and faithfulness, and rejoice in the blessings and miracles that He gives us, just as the Psalmist does in Psalm 103:1-5. By following Elisha's example, we can show compassion and kindness to those around us, and bring hope and healing to them, just as Jesus did in His ministry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of Elisha summoning the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:36?
Elisha summoned the Shunammite woman so that she could be reunited with her son, whom he had just miraculously resurrected, as seen in the preceding verses, 2 Kings 4:34-35. This act of summoning her shows the prophet's compassion and desire to bring joy and healing to those in need, much like Jesus' ministry as described in the Gospel of Luke 4:18-19.
Why did Elisha instruct the Shunammite woman to 'Pick up your son'?
Elisha instructed the Shunammite woman to 'Pick up your son' as a way of confirming that her son had indeed been resurrected and was now alive, as promised by God in 2 Kings 4:8-37. This simple yet profound command allowed the woman to experience the miracle for herself and to rejoice in God's goodness, much like the Psalmist's expression of trust in Psalm 113:9.
How does this verse relate to the broader theme of faith and healing in the Bible?
This verse is part of a larger narrative in 2 Kings 4 that highlights the power of faith and the role of God's prophets in bringing healing and restoration to His people, as seen in 2 Kings 2:9-14 and 5:1-27. It reminds us that our God is a God of compassion, love, and miracles, who desires to bring hope and wholeness to all people, as promised in Jeremiah 29:11 and Romans 8:28.
What can we learn from Elisha's example in this verse about ministering to others?
Elisha's example in this verse teaches us the importance of compassion, empathy, and kindness in our ministry to others, as emphasized in Galatians 6:2 and 1 Thessalonians 5:14. As we seek to serve and love those around us, we should strive to follow Elisha's example, being mindful of the needs and emotions of those we are serving, and seeking to bring hope and healing to them, just as Jesus did in His ministry, as seen in Matthew 9:35-36.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to trust in God's power and provision, just like the Shunammite woman did?
- How can I show compassion and kindness to those around me, just as Elisha did in this verse?
- What are some ways that I can 'pick up' and rejoice in the blessings and miracles that God has given me, just as the Shunammite woman did with her son?
- How can I use my experiences of God's goodness and faithfulness to encourage and minister to others, just as Elisha did in this verse?
Gill's Exposition on 2 Kings 4:36
And he called Gehazi, and said, call this Shunammite,.... To come up to the chamber to him: so he called her: and when she was come in unto him, he said, take up thy son; from off the bed, alive, safe, and sound.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Kings 4:36
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son. No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:36
Come in unto him, Heb. come to him, to wit, to the door of his chamber; where probably he met her with this joyful message.
Trapp's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:36
2 Kings 4:36 And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.Ver. 36. Take up thy son.] Now two sons in one, and never so dear to thee, I daresay, as now. God knows how to commend his favours to us, and to make them double welcome.
Ellicott's Commentary on 2 Kings 4:36
(36) Take up thy son.—So our Lord “delivered to his mother” the young man whom He raised from death by His word (Luke 7:15).
