Contextual Overview
8 And the day came that Elisha crossed over to Shunem. And a great woman was there. And she lay hold on him to eat bread. And it happened, as often as he passed by, he turned aside there to eat bread. 9 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I know that he is a holy man of God who passes by us continually. 10 Now let us make a little walled roof room, and let us set a bed for him there, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand. And it shall be, when he comes to us, he shall turn in there. 11 And the day came when he came in there and turned into the roof room, and lay there. 12 And he said to his young man Gehazi, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, Now say to her, Behold, you have trembled with all this care for us. What shall I do for you? Shall I speak to the king for you, or to the army commander? And she said, I live among my people. 14 And he said, What then shall I do for her? And Gehazi said, Truly there is no son to her. And her husband is old. 15 And he said, Call for her. And he called for her. And she stood at the door. 16 And he said, At this season, according to the time of life you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your handmaid. 17 And the woman conceived and bore a son, at this season, according to the time of life that Elisha spoke of to 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.
