Relax, Recline Before Leaving This Place of Mine

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually. Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither. And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay there.-2 Kings 4:8-11***Elijah and Elisha were Israelites and prophets of the Lord God. Elisha assisted Elijah as they journeyed among the Israelites during the reign of King Ahab,  the 7th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel in the Promised Land. Ahab's wife Jezebel was a Sidonian (Zidonian) princess. After Jezebel caused the deaths of many prophets of the Lord God, Elijah caused the deaths of Jezebel's idol worshiping prophets. After Jezebel vowed to kill Elijah, he fled to Judah, the southern nation in the Promised Land, and journeyed over 40 days to Mount Horeb, the mountain of God. The Lord God spoke with Elijah and gave Elijah commands that included anointing Elisha as successor. After Elijah went up into heaven by a whirlwind, Elisha continued journeying throughout the northern nation of Israel, serving the Lord God and the Israelites, the treasured and chosen people of the Lord God. A generous woman in Shunem, a city in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the Israelite tribe of Issachar, spoke to her husband and they prepared a place specifically for Elisha. Over 750 years after Elisha died,  Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Approximately 30 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was baptized in the Jordan River by Mary's relative John the Baptist. Shortly thereafter, Jesus began to preach, teach and perform miracles among the Israelites. In Capernaum, Jesus spoke to a scribe regarding a place.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-13:25, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 7:1-5, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
