Raising of the son of the woman of Shunem explained

Raising of the son of the woman of Shunem should not be confused with Raising of the son of the widow of Zarephath.

The raising of the son of the woman of Shunem is a miracle by Elisha narrated in the Hebrew Bible, 2 Kings 4:The story begins at, and is demarcated from the previous story by Elisha's arrival in Shunem, and by a change in heroine — from the widow of the son of the prophets (4:1-7) to the rich woman of Shunem.^[1]

Uriel Simon Reading Prophetic Narratives 1997 Page 227 "There is no doubt that the story begins at 2 Kings 4:8, since it is demarcated from the previous story by three clear signs: change of place — Elisha's arrival in Shunem; change in heroine — from the widow of the son of the prophets to the grande dame of Shunem, and by change of genre."
