AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Kings 4:15 He said, "Call her." So Gehazi called her, and she [came and] stood in the doorway. |
Bible Question: I wonder why she stood in the door...and later after miricle, she goes in and bows? |
Bible Answer: Most probably because of two factors. She didn't want to enter the room of a man other than her husband. Also as a sign of respect. She wasn't specifically invited in so she stood at the door way in respect of for the prophet's privacy. Her bowing later is a middle Eastern custom of showing honor. EdB |
