ગુજરાતી2 રાજાઓ ૪:૮
એક દિવસ એવું બન્યું કે, એલિશા શુનેમ ગયો ત્યાં એક ધનવાન સ્ત્રી રહેતી હતી. તે સ્ત્રીએ તેને જમવા માટે આગ્રહ કર્યો. અને એમ થયું કે, એલિશા જેટલી વાર ત્યાંથી જતો, તેટલી વાર તે જમવા માટે ત્યાં રોકાતો હતો.
हिन्दी2 राजाओं ४:८
फिर एक दिन की बात है कि एलीशा शूनेम को गया, जहाँ एक कुलीन स्त्री थी, और उसने उसे रोटी खाने के लिये विनती करके विवश किया। अतः जब जब वह उधर से जाता, तब-तब वह वहाँ रोटी खाने को उतरता था।

In context

6When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There isn’t another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

7Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”

8One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.

9She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.

10Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
