<p> (Heb. with the art. hash-Shunammith'. השּׁוּנִמּית [in 1 Kings 2:22, the shorter form הִשֻּׁמַּית ], '' | <p> (Heb. with the art. hash-Shunammith'. השּׁוּנִמּית [in 1 Kings 2:22, the shorter form הִשֻּׁמַּית ], ''The Shunammitess'' ; Sept. ἡ Σωμανεῖτις v.r. Σουμανιτις )'','' a native of SHUNEM, as is plain from 2 Kings 4:1. It is applied to two persons — Abishag, the nurse of king David ( 1 Kings 1:3; 1 Kings 1:15; 1 Kings 2:17; 1 Kings 2:21-22), and the nameless hostess of Elisha ( 2 Kings 4:12; 2 Kings 4:25; 2 Kings 4:36). See Woodward, Lectures on the Shunammite (Lond. 1840). The modern representative of Shunem being Solam, some have suggested (as Gesenius, Thesaur. p. 1379 b), or positively affirmed (as Furst, Handwb. 2, 422), that Shunammite is identical with Shulammite ( Song of Solomon 6:13). But this lacks probability. </p> | ||
