Elisha Raises the Shunammite’s Son

8 Now it happened one day that Elisha went to aShunem, where there was a notable woman, and she2 persuaded him to eat some food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn in there to eat some food.  
9 And she said to her husband, “Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us regularly.
10 Please, let us make a small upper room on the wall; and let us put a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; so it will be, whenever he comes to us, he can turn in there.”  
11 And it happened one day that he came there, and he turned in to the upper room and lay down there.
12 Then he said to aGehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.  
13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
