The Shunammite Woman: BIBLE, New American Standard Bible == BIBLE-CENTRE

2 Kings, Chapter 4, verses 8-17

⁸ Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a^bprominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat^cfood. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat^dfood. ⁹ She said to her husband, “Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually. ¹⁰ Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber 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, that he can turn in there.”

¹¹ ^eOne day he came there and turned in to the upper chamber and^frested. ¹² Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” And when he had called her, she stood before him. ¹³ He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have been^gcareful for us with all this^hcare; what can I do for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the captain of the army?’” And sheⁱanswered, “I live among my own people.” ¹⁴ So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi^janswered, “Truly she has no son and her husband is old.” ¹⁵ He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the doorway. ¹⁶ Then he said, “At this season^knext year you will embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”

¹⁷ The woman conceived and bore a son at that season^lthe next year, as Elisha had said to her.
