Contextual Overview

8 And on a time Elisha came to Shunem, and there a woman of great estimation constrained him to eate bread: and as he passed by, he turned in thither to eate bread. 9 And she sayde vnto her husband, Beholde, I know now, that this is an holy man of God that passeth by vs continually. 10 Let vs make him a litle chamber, I pray thee, with walles, & let vs set him there a bed, and a table, and a stoole, and a candlesticke, that hee may turne in thither when hee commeth to vs. 11 And on a day, hee came thither and turned into the chamber, and lay therein, 12 And sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Call this Shunammite: and when hee called her, she stood before him. 13 Then he sayd vnto him, Say vnto her now, Beholde, thou hast had all this great care for vs, what shall we doe for thee? Is there any thing to bee spoken for thee to the King or to the captaine of the hoste? And shee answered, I dwell among mine owne people. 14 Againe he sayde, What is then to be done for her? Then Gehazi answered, In deede she hath no sonne, and her husband is olde. 15 Then said he, Cal her. And hee called her, and shee stoode in the doore. 16 And he said, At this time appointed, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a sonne. And she sayd, Oh my Lorde, thou man of God, doe not lye vnto thine handmayd. 17 So the woman conceiued, & bare a sonne at that same season, according to the time of life, that Elisha had sayd vnto her.

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.
