2 Kings 4:8-10
New Catholic Bible
Elisha and the Shunammite.[a] 8 One day Elisha traveled to Shunem.[b] There was an important woman there, and she insisted that he stop to eat. Whenever he passed by there, he would stop to eat.
9 She said to her husband, “Behold, this man who often visits us is a holy man of God. 10 We should prepare a small room on the roof, and place a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there when he visits us.”
