Contextual Overview

⁸ And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread: and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread. ⁹ And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us. ¹⁰ Let us, therefore, make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us he may abide there. ¹¹ Now, there was a certain day, when he came, and turned into the chamber, and rested there. ¹² And he said to Giezi, his servant: Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him, ¹³ He said to his servant: Say to her: Behold, thou hast diligently served us in all things; what wilt thou have me to do for thee? Hast thou any business, and wilt thou, that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people. ¹⁴ And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old. ¹⁵ Then he bid him call her. And when she was called, and stood before the door, ¹⁶ He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life be in company, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. ¹⁷ And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour that Eliseus had said.
