2 Kings 4:8–17

⁸And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. ⁹And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually. ¹⁰Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither. ¹¹And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there. ¹²And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him. ¹³And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people. ¹⁴And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi said, Verily, she has no son, and her husband is old. ¹⁵And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway. ¹⁶And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid. ¹⁷And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.
