One day as Elisha was in the town of Shunem, he was taken in by a wealthy woman and her family. He felt at home there and every time he would visit Shunem, he would stop by her house. This happened so often that she and her husband built a room for him on the roof. Elisha asked what he could do to repay the woman for her kindness, but she needed nothing. Instead, noticing she had no children, he prophesied that she would have a son. Soon after the promised child arrived, he died, however, this was not the end of his story and her mother would soon find her joy restored by God’s power.
