Contextual Overview
8 One day Elisha traveled to Shunem, where a prominent woman lived. She insisted that he stop for a meal. So whenever he was passing through, he would stop in there for a meal. 9 She said to her husband, "Look, I'm sure that the man who regularly passes through here is a very special prophet. 10 Let's make a small private upper room and furnish it with a bed, table, chair, and lamp. When he visits us, he can stay there." 11 One day Elisha came for a visit; he went into the upper room and rested. 12 He told his servant Gehazi, "Ask the Shunammite woman to come here." So he did so and she came to him. 13 Elisha said to Gehazi, "Tell her, ‘Look, you have treated us with such great respect. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you with the king or the commander of the army?'" She replied, "I'm quite secure." 14 So he asked Gehazi, "What can I do for her?" Gehazi replied, "She has no son, and her husband is old." 15 Elisha told him, "Ask her to come here." So he did so and she came and stood in the doorway. 16 He said, "About this time next year you will be holding a son." She said, "No, my master! O prophet, do not lie to your servant!" 17 The woman did conceive, and at the specified time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And she said unto her husband,.... Not being willing to do any thing without his leave and consent:
behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God which passeth by us continually: and calls here frequently: this she perceived by his discourse and conversation; and by his carriage and behaviour he appeared to be a prophet, and one very eminent for holiness and religion.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Kings 4:9. This is a holy man of God — That is, a prophet, as the Chaldee interprets it.
Which passeth by us continually. — It probably lay in his way to some school of the prophets that he usually attended.
