2 Kings 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:9

And she said unto her husband
Not being willing to do any thing without his leave and consent:

behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God which passeth by
us continually:
and calls here frequently: this she perceived by his discourse and conversation; and by his carriage and behaviour he appeared to be a prophet, and one very eminent for holiness and religion.

2 Kings 4:9 In-Context

7 She came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go sell the oil and pay your debts, and you and your children can live on the rest."
8 One day Elisha was passing through Shunem, where a wealthy woman lived, who urged him to have a meal. So whenever he passed that way, he would stop there for a meal.
9 She said to her husband, "Look, I am sure that this man who regularly passes our way is a holy man of God.
10 Let us make a small roof chamber with walls, and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that he can stay there whenever he comes to us."
11 One day when he came there, he went up to the chamber and lay down there.
