10 let us arrange a little room on the roof and furnish it for him with a bed, table, chair, and lamp, so that when he comes to us he can stay there.”
11 One day Elisha arrived and stayed in the room overnight.
12 Then he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” He did so, and when she stood before Elisha,
13 he told Gehazi, “Say to her, ‘You have troubled yourself greatly for us; what can we do for you? Can we say a good word for you to the king or to the commander of the army?’” She replied, “I am living among my own people.”
14 Later Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” Gehazi answered, “She has no son, and her husband is old.”
15 Elisha said, “Call her.” He did so, and when she stood at the door,
16 Elisha promised, “This time next year you will be cradling a baby son.” She said, “My lord, you are a man of God; do not deceive your servant.”
