Halakhah zu Könige II 4:23
וַיֹּ֗אמֶר מַ֠דּוּעַ אתי [אַ֣תְּ] הלכתי [הֹלֶ֤כֶת] אֵלָיו֙ הַיּ֔וֹם לֹֽא־חֹ֖דֶשׁ וְלֹ֣א שַׁבָּ֑ת וַתֹּ֖אמֶר שָׁלֽוֹם׃
Und er sprach: Warum willst du heute zu ihm gehen? Es ist weder Neumond noch Sabbat.' Und sie sagte: 'Es soll gut sein.'
Peninei Halakhah, Women's Prayer
Moreover, we learn about proper respect for the Torah and respect for Torah scholars from the Shunamite woman, who would visit the prophet on Shabbat and Rosh Ḥodesh (2 Melakhim 4:23; RH 16b). It is no coincidence that respect for the Torah is learned from the example of a woman, because women have more of a connection to the sublime general aspect of the Torah (Siḥot Ha-Ritzya, Shemot pp. 178-181).
