Verse 25 is found in chapter 4 of 2 Kings. The Shunammite woman’s son becomes ill and dies, transforming the promise previously received into a profound crisis. The woman seeks Elisha and refuses to accept a superficial solution. The prophet prays and acts persistently until the child returns to life. The episode is one of the clearest expressions of God’s life-giving power in Elisha’s ministry. It also develops an important narrative tension: receiving a gift from God does not automatically eliminate suffering. The woman’s faith appears in a situation where the promise seems to have been nullified, and restoration again confirms the authority of the prophetic word.

Elle partit donc et se rendit vers l'homme de Dieu sur la montagne du Carmel. L'homme de Dieu, l'ayant aperçue de loin, dit à Guéhazi, son serviteur: Voici cette Sunamite!
Ed ella andò; e venne all’uomo di Dio, nel monte Carmel. E quando l’uomo di Dio l’ebbe veduta dinanzi a sè, disse a Ghehazi, suo servitore: Ecco quella Sunamita.
Partiu ela, pois, e foi ao homem de Deus, ao monte Carmelo; e sucedeu que, vendo-a o homem de Deus de longe, disse a Geazi, seu servo: Eis aí a sunamita.
