God's Perfect Timing
Commentators highlight the remarkable timing of this scene. Just as the Shunammite woman arrived to petition the king, he was already engaged in a conversation with Gehazi about the very miracles Elisha performed for her. Matthew Henry notes this is no mere coincidence but a sign of God's providence, arranging events to prepare the king's heart and ensure justice for His people.
