Contextual Overview
8 Now a day came when Elisha went over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she urged him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to eat food. 9 And she said to her husband, "Behold now, I am aware that this is a holy man of God passing by us repeatedly. 10 "Please, let's make a little walled upper room, and let's set up a bed for him there, and a table, a chair, and a lampstand; then it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there." 11 Now one day he came there, and turned in to the upper room and rested. 12 Then he said to his servant Gehazi, "Call this Shunammite." And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Behold, you have taken trouble for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you like me to speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?'" But she answered, "I live among my own people." 14 So he said, "What then is to be done for her?" And Gehazi answered, "It is a fact that she has no son, and her husband is old." 15 He then said, "Call her." When he had called her, she stood in the doorway.16 Then he said, "At this season next year, you are going to embrace a son." And she said, "No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant." 17 Now the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had told her.
