Contextual Overview
8One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat. 9Then the woman said to her husband, "Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there." 11One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down. 12And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call the Shunammite woman." And when he had called her, she stood before him, 13and Elisha said to Gehazi, "Now tell her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?'" "I have a home among my own people," she replied. 14So he asked, "Then what should be done for her?" "Well, she has no son," Gehazi replied, "and her husband is old." 15"Call her," said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.16And Elisha declared, "At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms." "No, my lord," she said. "Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God." 17But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.
