The Shunammite Woman and her son

Starting at the eighth verse of 2 Kings, chapter 4, whenever the prophet Elisha went to Shunem, a wealthy woman would invite him in to eat.

One day, this woman told her husband to make a room for him, complete with furnishings.  Elisha was grateful for her generosity and asked what he could do for her.  She was content as she was, but their servant advised him that they did not have a son.

Elisha told the woman that when he returned next year, she would have a son.  She did not believe him, but indeed it came true.

The child grew up, and one day he complained of a headache.  His mother knew of only one solution: she needed to find Elisha.  When she brought him back, the child was already dead.  That was when Elisha prayed to the Lord.

A miracle happened.  Her son soon came back to life, just as the Lord promised!
