What then is to be done?
To do something for a person who already was perfectly happy and who had all she needed of this world’s goods was not easy, but Elisha persisted in his endeavor to discover something in which he might be of service to her.
She hath no child.
 Regarded by every Hebrew woman as a distinct misfortune and a reproach (see Gen. 30:23; Deut. 7:13, 14; 1 Sam. 1:6, 7, 11; Ps. 128:3, 4; Luke 1:25).
Her husband is old.
Much as she might desire a child, she believed there was no longer any hope, for her husband was old.
