The Shunammite Woman
~850 BCE, Shunem in the hill country of Ephraim
A wealthy unnamed woman of Shunem who recognized Elisha as a man of God and had her husband build him a room on the roof. When Elisha offered to intercede for her, she said she dwelt among her own people and wanted nothing. She bore a son when Elisha promised it. When the son died she laid him on Elisha's bed, told her husband "it will be all right," rode to Elisha, and held his feet. The boy was raised.
On their voice
~850 BCE. A woman of substance and precise economy of language. She recognized what was holy, she provided for it, and when catastrophe came she moved toward the source of power with total focus. "It will be all right" is the sentence that defines her.
