2 Kings 4:9

The Shunammite Woman

8One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.9Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.10Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there.”
