2 Kings4:21

Partly, in hopes that this might contribute something to the Childs restitution to Life, she having in all probability had an account of the like Miracle done by Elijah, 1 King. 17. 21. and partly, that she might for the present conceal the death of the Child: which if it had been known, would have filled her Husband with grief, and hindred her journey, and opened the mouths of the enemies of God and his Prophets to blaspheme: whereas she had a confidence put into her by God, that the Prophet could and would restore her Son.
