Contextual Overview
18 The boy grew and one day he went out to see his father who was with the harvest workers. 19 He said to his father, "My head! My head!" His father told a servant, "Carry him to his mother." 20 So he picked him up and took him to his mother. He sat on her lap until noon and then died. 21 She went up and laid him down on the prophet's bed. She shut the door behind her and left. 22 She called to her husband, "Send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, so I can go see the prophet quickly and then return." 23 He said, "Why do you want to go see him today? It is not the new moon or the Sabbath." She said, "Everything's fine." 24 She saddled the donkey and told her servant, "Lead on. Do not stop unless I say so." 25 So she went to visit the prophet at Mount Carmel. When he 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, "Everything's fine." 27 But when she reached the prophet on the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the prophet said, "Leave her alone, for she is very upset. The Lord has kept the matter hidden from me; he didn't tell me about it."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she went up,.... Into the little chamber built for the prophet:
and laid him on the bed of the man of God; not from any imagination of any virtue in it to bring her child to life; though she might think of the prophet, and have faith that he could raise it to life, as Elijah raised the widow of Zarephath's son laid on his bed, of which she might have heard; but this being a private room, and into which none went, she laid it here to conceal its death from her husband and family, and to prevent grief, and that they might not bury it until she returned:
and shut the door upon him; that no creature might enter, and, do any damage to his corpse:
and went out; not out of the chamber, that she did before she shut the door, but out of the house.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 4:21. Laid him on the bed of the man of God — She had no doubt heard that Elijah had raised the widow's son of Zarephath to life; and she believed that he who had obtained this gift from God for her, could obtain his restoration to life.
