2 Kings 4:8-10

Expanded Bible

The Shunammite Woman

⁸ One day Elisha went to Shunem, where an ·important [prominent; wealthy] woman lived. She ·begged [urged; pressed] Elisha to stay and eat. So every time Elisha passed by, he stopped there to eat. ⁹ The woman said to her husband, “I ·know that [am sure] this is a holy man of God who passes by our house ·all the time [often]. ¹⁰ Let’s make a small walled room on the roof [^Croofs were flat and served as an extra room] and put a bed in the room for him. We can put a table, a chair, and a lampstand there. Then when he comes by, he can stay there.”
