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
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground,.... In reverence of him, and with the most profound gratitude and thankfulness for the mercy received:
and took up her son, and went out; of the chamber into her house, with great joy and gladness.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 37. She went in and fell at his feet — Few can enter into the feelings of this noble woman. What suspense must she have felt during the time that the prophet was employed in the slow process referred to above! for slow in its own nature it must have been, and exceedingly exhausting to the prophet himself.
