The Shunammite Woman - Her Legacy In Scripture

The Shunammite Woman - Her Legacy In Scripture

Read 2 Kings 4:8 – 37.

1. Why do you think stopping at this woman’s house became a habit for Elisha?

2. Why do you think the woman responded to the promise of a son as she did in verse 16? Compare verse 28.

3. Why did she tell both her husband and Gehazi that everything was “all right” when it wasn’t? What was her goal?

4. Hundreds of mothers lost sons in this period when God saved one boy through Elijah and now this one through Elisha. What do you make of these stories? What do they tell you about God?

5. What do you admire about the Shunammite woman that you would like to imitate?
