The Shunammite Woman Will Bear a Son
8 Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to (A)Shunem, where there was a [a]prominent woman, and she prevailed upon him to eat [b]food. Now it happened, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to eat [c]food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy (B)man of God passing by us continually. 10 Please, let us (C)make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it will be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there.”

The Hospitality of a Woman from Shunem
8 Some time later, Elisha went to Shunem,[a] where he met a prominent and wealthy[b] woman who persuaded him to have a meal with her. As a result, whenever he was in the area, he stopped by to eat with her. 9 So she had a talk with her husband. “Look here! I’ve learned that this is a holy and godly man[c] who comes by here on a regular basis. 10 Now then, let’s build a small upper room and put a bed in it for him there, along with a table, a chair, and a lamp stand. That way, when he comes to visit, he can rest[d] there.”
