4:8 一日,以利沙走到書念,在那裡有一個大戶的婦人強留他吃飯。此後,以利沙每從那裡經過就進去吃飯。
4:9 婦人對丈夫說:「我看出那常從我們這裡經過的是聖潔的神人。
4:10 我們可以為他在牆上蓋一間小樓,在其中安放床榻、桌子、椅子、燈臺,他來到我們這裡,就可以住在其間。」
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem. And a well-to-do woman was there, who urged him to stay for a meal. So whenever he came by, he stopped there to eat. 9 She said to her husband, “I know that this man who often comes our way is a holy man of God. 10 Let’s make a small room on the roof and put in it a bed and a table, a chair and a lamp for him. Then he can stay there whenever he comes to us.”

以利沙到書念去,有一個大戶的女主人接待她吃飯。而這個婦人不只請他吃飯,也請求她的丈夫未以利沙蓋一座小樓,供以利沙道說念時可以住宿和休息之用。
這婦人這樣做是因為她發現:以利沙是一位聖潔的神人!
而從這樣的描述也讓我們服侍上帝的人相信:上帝同在所帶了生命外在表現,是可以被人察覺到的!也因為這樣,我們相信基督的榮光會透過我們向外展現的,這一件多麼美的事啊!
