Contextual Overview
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where an important woman lived. She asked Elisha to stop and eat at her house. So every time Elisha went through that place, he stopped there to eat. 9 The woman said to her husband, "Look, I can see that Elisha is a holy man of God. He passes by our house all the time. 10 Please, let's make a little room on the roof for him. Let's put a bed in this room and a table, a chair, and a lampstand. Then when he comes to our house, he can have this room for himself." 11 One day Elisha came to the woman's house. He went to this room and rested there. 12 Elisha said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite woman." The servant called the Shunammite woman, and she stood in front of Elisha. 13 Elisha told his servant, "Now say to her, ‘Look, you have done your best to take care of us. What can we do for you? Do you want us to speak to the king for you, or to the captain of the army?'" She answered, "I am fine living here among my own people." 14 Elisha said to Gehazi, "What can we do for her?" He answered, "I know! She does not have a son, and her husband is old." 15 Then Elisha said, "Call her." So Gehazi called the woman. She came and stood at his door. 16 Elisha said, "About this time next spring, you will be holding your own baby boy in your arms." The woman said, "No, sir! Man of God, don't lie to me!" 17 But the woman did become pregnant and gave birth to a son that next spring, just as Elisha had said.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And it fell on a day that he came thither,.... As he had been wont to do:
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.
