2 Kings 4:8-17

[8] And it fell on a day,  that Elisha  passed  to Shunem,  where was a great  woman;  and she constrained  him to eat  bread.  And so it was, that as oft  as he passed by,  he turned  in thither to eat  bread.  [9] And she said  unto her husband,  Behold now, I perceive  that this is an holy  man  of God,  which passeth  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 candlestick:  and it shall be, when he cometh  to us, that he shall turn  in thither. [11] And it fell on a day,  that he came  thither, and he turned  into the chamber,  and lay  [12] And he said  to Gehazi  his servant,  Call  this Shunammite.  And when he had called  her, she stood  before  him. [13] And he said  now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful  for us with all this care;  what is to be done  for thee? wouldest  thou be spoken  for to the king,  or to the captain  of the host?  And she answered,  I dwell  among  mine own people.  [14] And he said,  What then is to be done  for her? And Gehazi  answered,  Verily  she hath no child,  and her husband  is old.  [15] And he said,  Call  her, she stood  in the door.  [16] And he said,  About this season,  according to the time  of life,  thou shalt embrace  a son.  And she said,  Nay, my lord,  thou man  of God,  do not lie  unto thine handmaid.  [17] And the woman  conceived,  and bare  a son  at that season  that Elisha  had said  unto her, according to the time  of life.
