8. One day Elisha was traveling through Shunem, where a rich woman lived. She had invited him to eat ⌊with her⌋. So whenever he was in the area, he stopped in to eat.
9. She told her husband, “I know he’s a holy man of God. And he regularly travels past our house.
10. Let’s make a small room on the roof and put a bed, table, chair, and lamp stand there for him. He can stay there whenever he comes to visit us.”

12. He told his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunem woman.”Gehazi called her, and she stood in front of him.
13. Elisha said to Gehazi, “Ask her what we can do for her, since she has gone to a lot of trouble for us. Maybe she would like us to speak to the king or the commander of the army for her.”She answered, “I’m already living among my own people.”
14. “What should we do for her?” Elisha asked.Gehazi answered, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.”
15. Elisha said, “Call her.” So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
16. Elisha said, “At this time next spring, you will hold a baby boy in your arms.”She answered, “Don’t say that, sir. Don’t lie to me. You’re a man of God.”
17. But the woman became pregnant and had a son at that time next year, as Elisha had told her.
