נַֽעֲשֶׂה־נָּ֤א עֲלִיַּת־קִיר֙ קְטַנָּ֔ה וְנָשִׂ֨ים ל֥וֹ שָׁ֛ם מִטָּ֥ה וְשֻׁלְחָ֖ן וְכִסֵּ֣א וּמְנוֹרָ֑ה וְהָיָ֛ה בְּבֹא֥וֹ אֵלֵ֖ינוּ יָס֥וּר שָֽׁמָּה׃
Gumawa tayo, pakiusap, ng isang maliit na silid na may pader sa itaas ng bahay, at maglagay tayo roon para sa kanya ng isang higaan, isang mesa, isang upuan, at isang ilawan; at mangyayari na sa tuwing darating siya sa atin, siya ay tutuloy roon.”

“Let us make a small enclosed upper chamber, etc.” [4:10]. We will make a separate chamber and we will place in it a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp stand, so he can stay there when he visits us. One day Elisha came and went into the chamber and lay down there. Elisha said to his servant, Gehazi. Call the Shunamite woman. He called her and she stood before him. Elisha said to her. You have exerted yourself on our behalf, to provide us with a separate chamber. How can we repay you for this? Do you have something to speak to the king or with the commander of the army? She responded, “I live among my own people” [4:13]. That is to say, I dwell among my own family. If I were to need someone to speak, they will speak for me. “He said, what can be done for her? Gehazi said, etc.” [4:14]. Elisha asked, how can we repay the favor that she has done for us? Gehazi responded, in truth she has no son. If you think she will still have children, her husband is very old and can die today or tomorrow. Elisha said: Call the woman in here and he called her. She stood in the door.
