Contextual Overview

8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where an important woman lived. She begged Elisha to stay and eat. So every time Elisha passed by, he stopped there to eat. 9 The woman said to her husband, "I know that this is a holy man of God who passes by our house all the time. 10 Let's make a small room on the roof and put a bed in the room for him. We can put a table, a chair, and a lampstand there. Then when he comes by, he can stay there." 11 One day Elisha came to the woman's house. After he went to his room and rested, 12 he said to his servant Gehazi, "Call the Shunammite woman." When the servant had called her, she stood in front of him. 13 Elisha had told his servant, "Now say to her, ‘You have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak to the king or the commander of the army for you?'" She answered, "I live among my own people." 14 Elisha said to Gehazi, "But what can we do for her?" He answered, "She has no son, and her husband is old." 15 Then Elisha said to Gehazi, "Call her." When he called her, she stood in the doorway. 16 Then Elisha said, "About this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms." The woman said, "No, master, man of God, don't lie to me, your servant!" 17 But the woman became pregnant and gave birth to a son at that time the next year, just as Elisha had told her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And she said unto her husband,.... Not being willing to do any thing without his leave and consent:

behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God which passeth by us continually: and calls here frequently: this she perceived by his discourse and conversation; and by his carriage and behaviour he appeared to be a prophet, and one very eminent for holiness and religion.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 4:9. This is a holy man of God — That is, a prophet, as the Chaldee interprets it.

Which passeth by us continually. — It probably lay in his way to some school of the prophets that he usually attended.
