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.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 4 of 2 Kings. The Shunammite woman recognizes Elisha as a man of God and prepares a place for him to stay. Without her directly asking, Elisha discovers that she has no son and announces that she will have one. The promise introduces the theme of life being given where it was humanly unexpected. The narrative also shows a form of hospitality that is not reduced to seeking benefits: the woman acts because she recognizes the prophet’s identity. The subsequent birth confirms the announced word and prepares the next conflict, when the child’s life will again be endangered.
