2 Kings 4:8-17 - Elisha At Shunem

8 And the day came when Elisha passed over to Shunem. And a great woman was there. And she laid hold on him to eat bread. And it happened, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. 9 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I see that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually. 10 Please, let us make a little room on the wall. And let us set a bed for him there, and a table, and a stool, and a lampstand. And when he comes to us, he shall turn in there.

11 And the day came when he came in there, and he turned into the room and lay there. 12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.

13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been thoughtful for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you be spoken for to the king or to the commander of the army? And she answered, I dwell among my own people.

14 And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly, she has no child, and her husband is old.

15 And he said, Call her! And he called her, and she stood in the door. 16 And he said, At this time, according to the time of life, you shall embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your handmaid.

17 And the woman conceived and bore a son at that time that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.
