Hospitality with Insight
The Shunammite woman's hospitality was exceptionally thoughtful. Commentators note that she provided more than just a spare room; she built a private chamber and furnished it specifically for a prophet's needs: a bed for rest, a table and chair for study, and a lamp for reading. This demonstrates a hospitality that is perceptive, considerate, and tailored to the guest's calling.
