Elisha Blesses the Shunammite Woman

Elisha sits in the upper room prepared for him, raising his hand as he speaks to the Shunammite woman who stands before him in attentive reverence. The simple furnishings beside him recall the chamber she provided for the prophet—a bed, table, chair, and lamp—an act of hospitality offered to a man of God. The scene points to the moment in 2 Kings 4 when Elisha honors her faithfulness by announcing that she will embrace a son. In the narrative, the woman asks for no reward, yet God sees her hidden service and answers a deep unspoken longing. This artwork is well suited for teaching on prophetic ministry, hospitality, faith, answered prayer, and the kindness of God toward those who serve Him.
