2 Kings 4:12-25

12Then he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite woman.” When he had called her, she stood before him.

13And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Look, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What can I do for you? Do you want me to speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?’ ” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
