8 And it also happened that one day Elisha passed through Shunem, where there was an important woman, and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread. 9 And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually. 10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a lampstand so that when he comes to us, he shall turn in there.
11 And it came to pass one day that he came there, and he turned into the chamber and slept there. 12 Then he said to Gehazi, his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said unto Gehazi, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been diligent for us with all this care; what shall I do for thee? Dost thou have need that I speak for thee unto the king or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own people. 14 And he said, What then shall we do for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she has no child, and her husband is old. 15 Then he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in the door. 16 And he said, At the appointed time, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, thou man of God, do not deceive thy handmaid. 17 But the woman conceived and gave birth to a son at the appointed time that Elisha had said unto her, according to the time of life.
