Contextual Overview

⁸ Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal. ⁹ And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day. ¹⁰ So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there. ¹¹ Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there. ¹² And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him. ¹³ And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people. ¹⁴ So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old. ¹⁵ Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door. ¹⁶ And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant. ¹⁷ Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

and he turned into the chamber; built for him, and to which he was directed:

and lay there; all night, and which no doubt was frequently repeated by him, he accepting of the kindness of his host.
