Now it happened, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to eat [c]food. 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.”
