Uma promessa à mulher sunamita

Elisha sits in the furnished upper room prepared for him, extending his hand as he speaks a prophetic promise to the Shunammite woman. She stands at the doorway holding a water jar, while her husband watches nearby, grounding the moment in the hospitality and faithfulness shown to the prophet of God. The simple room includes the bed, table, lamp, and household vessels mentioned in the biblical account, emphasizing the kindness that welcomed God’s messenger. This scene portrays 2 Kings 4:8-17, where Elisha declares that the woman who had provided for him would embrace a son. Her barrenness and her careful generosity meet the Lord’s unexpected grace. The promise is not presented as payment for hospitality, but as a sign that God sees hidden faithfulness and speaks life where human hope has grown quiet. Suitable for teaching on Elisha, the Shunammite woman, hospitality, answered prayer, and God’s provision.
