2 Kings 4:8-17

⁸Now a day came when Elisha went over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she urged him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, that he turned in there to eat food. ⁹And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I am aware that this is a holy man of God passing by us repeatedly. ¹⁰Please, let’s make a little walled upper room, and let’s set up a bed for him there, and a table, a chair, and a lampstand; then it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there.”

¹¹Now one day he came there, and turned in to the upper room and rested. ¹²Then he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite.” And when he had called her, she stood before him. ¹³And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have taken trouble for us with all this care; what can I do for you? Would you like me to speak for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” But she answered, “I live among my own people.” ¹⁴So he said, “What then is to be done for her?” And Gehazi answered, “It is a fact that she has no son, and her husband is old.” ¹⁵He then said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the doorway. ¹⁶Then he said, “At this season next year, you are going to embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”

¹⁷Now the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had told her.
