SCRIPTURE

"So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is the Shunammite:" — 2 Kings 4:25 (ASV)

So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel ,
&c.] Where Elijah used to be, and where, perhaps, was a school of the prophets; this, according to Bunting F24 , was sixteen miles from Shunem:

and it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off ;
as he might from the eminence of the mountain:

that he said to Gehazi his servant, behold, there is that Shunammite ;
that has so often and so hospitably entertained us at her house.
