Contextual Overview

8 And so it was, on a day, that Elisha passed over unto Shunem, where was a woman of position, and she constrained him to eat bread, - and so it came about, whensoever he passed that way, that he turned aside thither, to eat bread. 9 Then said she unto her husband, Lo! I pray thee - I perceive that, a holy man of God, he is, - passing our way continually. 10 I pray thee, let us make a little upper chamber on the wall and set for him there - a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand, - so shall it be, when he cometh to us, that he can turn in thither. 11 And it came to pass, on a day, that he came thither, - so he turned aside into the upper chamber, and slept there. 12 Then said he unto Gehazi, his young man, Call this Shunammitess. And he called her, and she stood before him. 13 And he said to him - I pray thee, say unto her - Lo! thou hast cared for us with all this anxious care, what can be done for thee? Is it, that we should speak for thee, unto the king, or unto the general of the army? But she said, In the midst of mine own people, do, I, dwell. 14 So he said, What then can be done for thee? And Gehazi said, Verily, she hath no, son, and, her husband, is, old. 15 And he said - Call her. So he called her, and she stood in the doorway. 16 Then said he - At this season, about the time of spring, thou, shalt be embracing a son. And she said - Nay! my lord, thou man of God, do not delude thy maid-servant. 17 And the woman conceived, and bare a son, at this season, about the time of spring, when Elisha, had spoken unto her.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it fell on a day that he came thither,.... As he had been wont to do:

and he turned into the chamber; built for him, and to which he was directed:

and lay there; all night, and which no doubt was frequently repeated by him, he accepting of the kindness of his host.
