有一天,以利沙經過書念的時候,那裡有一位貴婦堅持留他吃飯;於是以後每逢他從那裡經過,他總進去吃飯。 那婦人對她的丈夫說:“你看,我知道那常從我們這裡經過的,是個聖潔的神人。 10 讓我們蓋一間有牆的小閣,為他在裡面擺設睡床、桌子、椅子和燈盞;他到我們這裡來的時候,就可以到那裡休息。”

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great 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.

And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

Then he can stay(B) there whenever he comes to us.”
