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.
