Then died. Sorrow and joy, tears and laughter, life and death, are not far apart in the sojourn of mortal man in this world of sin. The son of the Shunammite had brought gladness into the home, but he was also the means of bringing anguish of heart. He had been given to the Shunammite by the Lord, but now death claimed him as its own.
