Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, and went out.
The verse records the Shunammite woman receiving her son after he was restored to life through Elisha. She falls at Elisha's feet, bows herself to the ground, takes up her son, and goes out with him. Her falling at his feet expresses gratitude and reverence.
Her faith is rewarded by the return of her child. The return of her child is an instance of God's power to restore life. The restoration of her son points to the hope that Christ will restore the faithful dead to their loved ones at His coming.
