The sons of Gad: Zephon, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi and Areli.
-
The descendants of Gad by their clans were: through Zephon, the Zephonite clan; through Haggi, the Haggite clan; through Shuni, the Shunite clan;
-
Their territory included: Jezreel, Kesulloth, Shunem,
-
The Philistines assembled and came and set up camp at Shunem, while Saul gathered all Israel and set up camp at Gilboa.
-
Then they searched throughout Israel for a beautiful young woman and found Abishag, a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
-
So Bathsheba went to see the aged king in his room, where Abishag the Shunammite was attending him.
-
So he continued, “Please ask King Solomon—he will not refuse you—to give me Abishag the Shunammite as my wife.”
-
So she said, “Let Abishag the Shunammite be given in marriage to your brother Adonijah.”
-
King Solomon answered his mother, “Why do you request Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? You might as well request the kingdom for him—after all, he is my older brother—yes, for him and for Abiathar the priest and Joab son of Zeruiah!”

The Shunammite’s Son Restored to Life
One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat.
-
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Call the Shunammite.” So he called her, and she stood before him.
-
So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, “Look! There’s the Shunammite!
-
Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite.” And he did. When she came, he said, “Take your son.”
-
The Shunammite’s Land Restored
Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Go away with your family and stay for a while wherever you can, because the Lord has decreed a famine in the land that will last seven years.”

Prologue
In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil.
-
Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
-
Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. And he still maintains his integrity, though you incited me against him to ruin him without any reason.”
-
And he said to the human race, “The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom, and to shun evil is understanding.”
-
Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and shun evil.
-
The wise fear the Lord and shun evil, but a fool is hotheaded and yet feels secure.
-
The poor are shunned even by their neighbors, but the rich have many friends.
-
The poor are shunned by all their relatives— how much more do their friends avoid them! Though the poor pursue them with pleading, they are nowhere to be found.
-
Truth is nowhere to be found, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The Lord looked and was displeased that there was no justice.
