Where Shunammites appears in Scripture
וַיְבַקְשׁוּ נַֽעֲרָה יָפָה בְּכֹל גְּבוּל יִשְׂרָאֵל וַֽיִּמְצְאוּ אֶת-אֲבִישַׁג הַשּׁוּנַמִּית וַיָּבִאוּ אֹתָהּ לַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king.
וַתָּבֹא בַת-שֶׁבַע אֶל-הַמֶּלֶךְ הַחַדְרָה וְהַמֶּלֶךְ זָקֵן מְאֹד וַֽאֲבִישַׁג הַשּׁוּנַמִּית מְשָׁרַת אֶת-הַמֶּֽלֶךְ׃
And Bath-sheba went in unto the king into the chamber: and the king was very old; and Abishag the Shunammite ministered unto the king.
וַיֹּאמֶר אִמְרִי-נָא לִשְׁלֹמֹה הַמֶּלֶךְ כִּי לֹֽא-יָשִׁיב אֶת-פָּנָיִךְ וְיִתֶּן-לִי אֶת-אֲבִישַׁג הַשּֽׁוּנַמִּית לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will say not thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
וַתֹּאמֶר יֻתַּן אֶת-אֲבִישַׁג הַשֻּֽׁנַמִּית לַאֲדֹֽנִיָּהוּ אָחִיךָ לְאִשָּֽׁה׃
And she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah thy brother to wife.
וַיַּעַן הַמֶּלֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹה וַיֹּאמֶר לְאִמּוֹ וְלָמָה אַתְּ שֹׁאֶלֶת אֶת-אֲבִישַׁג הַשֻּֽׁנַמִּית לַאֲדֹנִיָּהוּ וְשַֽׁאֲלִי-לוֹ אֶת-הַמְּלוּכָה כִּי הוּא אָחִי הַגָּדוֹל מִמֶּנִּי וְלוֹ וּלְאֶבְיָתָר הַכֹּהֵן וּלְיוֹאָב בֶּן-צְרוּיָֽה׃
And king Solomon answered and said unto his mother, And why dost thou ask Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? ask for him the kingdom also; for he is mine elder brother; even for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.
וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-גֵּיחֲזִי נַֽעֲרוֹ קְרָא לַשּֽׁוּנַמִּית הַזֹּאת וַיִּקְרָא-לָהּ וַֽתַּעֲמֹד לְפָנָֽיו׃
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
וַתֵּלֶךְ וַתָּבֹא אֶל-אִישׁ הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֶל-הַר הַכַּרְמֶל וַיְהִי כִּרְאוֹת אִישׁ-הָֽאֱלֹהִים אֹתָהּ מִנֶּגֶד וַיֹּאמֶר אֶל-גֵּֽיחֲזִי נַֽעֲרוֹ הִנֵּה הַשּֽׁוּנַמִּית הַלָּֽז׃
So she went and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw off, her afar that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite:
וַיִּקְרָא אֶל-גֵּֽיחֲזִי וַיֹּאמֶר קְרָא אֶל-הַשֻּֽׁנַמִּית הַזֹּאת וַיִּקְרָאֶהָ וַתָּבֹא אֵלָיו וַיֹּאמֶר שְׂאִי בְנֵֽךְ׃
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said, Take up thy son.
