2 Kings 4:23

Context
4:23 He said, “Why do you want to go see him today? It is not the new moon 1  or the Sabbath.” She said, “Everything’s fine.” 2 

2 Kings 4:26

Context
4:26 Now, run to meet her and ask her, ‘Are you well? Are your husband and the boy well?’” She told Gehazi, 3  “Everything’s fine.”

1 sn The new moon was a time of sacrifice and special feasts (Num 28:14; 1 Sam 20:5). Apparently it was a convenient time to visit a prophet. See M. Cogan and H. Tadmor, II Kings (AB), 57.

2 tn Heb “peace.”

3 tn Heb “she said.” The narrator streamlines the story at this point, omitting any reference to Gehazi running to meet her and asking her the questions.
