2 Kings 4:12-25

12And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.

13And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.
