2 Kings 4:26 Run now, I pray you, to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? is it well with your husband? is it well with the child?… In the late South African War, Major Child, when setting out one morning on reconnaissance duty, had a presentiment he might not return alive, and so said to a brother officer that if he fell that day he wanted written on his memorial stone just these words: "Is it well with the child? It is well." It fell out as he anticipated, but death had no terrors for him, and now he lies on the veldt with this question and answer above his grave. Suppose this question put to us: "Is it well with thee?" Can we answer, "It is well"? (J. D. Jones, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well. |
