2 Kings 4:8-38, Shunammite Woman

2 Kings 4:8-38

8Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food. 9She said to her husband, "Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God passing by us continually. 10"Please, let us 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 shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there."
2 Kings 4:17 And the woman conceived and bore a son at that season the next year, as Elisha had said to her… 20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and then died. 21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door behind him, and went out. she said, "It will be well" … 24 Then she saddled a donkey and said to her [masc.] servant, "Drive and go forward; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."
