It is situated in the northern part of ancient Israel, near the Jezreel Valley, south of Mount Gilboa. The modern identification of Shunem is often associated with the village of Sulam in present-day Israel.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Shunem is mentioned in several key biblical narratives, primarily in the books of Joshua, 1 Samuel, and 2 Kings.<br><br>1. <b>Allotment to Issachar:</b> <br> In the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, Shunem is listed as one of the towns within the inheritance of the tribe of Issachar. <a href="/joshua/19-18.htm">Joshua 19:18</a> states, "Their territory included Jezreel, Chesulloth, Shunem."<br><br>2. <b>The Shunammite Woman and Elisha:</b> <br> One of the most notable accounts involving Shunem is the account of the Shunammite woman and the prophet Elisha. This narrative is found in <a href="/2_kings/4-8.htm">2 Kings 4:8-37</a>. The Shunammite woman is described as a wealthy and hospitable individual who provided a room for Elisha whenever he passed through the area. In gratitude, Elisha prophesied that she would have a son, despite her previous barrenness. The child was later miraculously revived by Elisha after falling ill and dying. This account highlights themes of faith, hospitality, and divine intervention.<br><br>3. <b>David and Abishag the Shunammite:</b> <br> In <a href="/1_kings/1.htm">1 Kings 1:1-4</a>, as King David grew old and frail, his servants sought a young woman to attend to him. They found Abishag, a beautiful young woman from Shunem, to care for the king. Although she served David, she did not become his wife. This account underscores the practice of seeking attendants for the king and the significance of Shunem as a place known for its notable inhabitants.<br><br>4. <b>The Battle of Gilboa:</b> <br> Shunem is also mentioned in the context of the battle between the Philistines and Israel, where King Saul faced his final defeat. In <a href="/1_samuel/28-4.htm">1 Samuel 28:4</a> , it is recorded, "The Philistines assembled and came and camped at Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they camped at Gilboa." This strategic location highlights Shunem's role in the military history of Israel.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Significance:</b> <br>Shunem's mention in various biblical narratives indicates its importance as a settlement during the time of the Israelite monarchy. The accounts associated with Shunem reflect the cultural practices of hospitality and the role of prophets in Israelite society. The town's proximity to significant battle sites also underscores its strategic importance in the ancient Near East.<br><br><b>Theological Themes:</b> <br>The accounts involving Shunem emphasize themes of divine providence, the power of prophetic ministry, and the faithfulness of God's promises. The Shunammite woman's interactions with Elisha demonstrate the blessings that come from faith and hospitality, while the revival of her son serves as a testament to God's power over life and death. The presence of Abishag in King David's court illustrates the human need for care and companionship, even among the most powerful.<br><br>Shunem, therefore, stands as a testament to the intertwining of everyday life with divine purpose, showcasing how God works through ordinary people and places to fulfill His plans.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shunem</span><p>their change; their sleep<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Shunem</span><p>(<i>double resting-place</i>), one of the cities allotted to the tribe of Issachar.

On the sudden death of this woman's son she hastened to Carmel, 20 miles distant across the plain, to tell Elisha, and to bring him with her to Shunem. There, in the "prophet's chamber," the dead child lay; and Elisha entering it, shut the door and prayed earnestly: and the boy was restored to life (<a href="/2_kings/4-8.htm">2 Kings 4:8</a>-37). This woman afterwards retired during the famine to the low land of the Philistines; and on returning a few years afterwards, found her house and fields in the possession of a stranger. She appealed to the king at Samaria, and had them in a somewhat remarkable manner restored to her (Comp. <a href="/2_kings/8-1.htm">2 Kings 8:1</a>-6).<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">SHUNEM</span><p>shoo'-nem (shunem; Codex Vaticanus Sounan; Codex Alexandrinus Sounam): A town in the territory of Issachar named with Jezreel and Chesulloth (<a href="/joshua/19-18.htm">Joshua 19:18</a>). Before the battle of Gilboa the Philistines pitched their camp here. They and the army of Saul, stationed on Gilboa, were in full view of each other (<a href="/1_samuel/28-4.htm">1 Samuel 28:4</a>). It was the scene of the touching story recorded in <a href="/2_kings/4-8.htm">2 Kings 4:8-37</a>, in which the prophet Elisha raises to life the son of his Shunammite benefactress. Eusebius (Onomasticon) describes it as a village called Sulem, 5 Roman miles South of Mt. Tabor. This points to the modern Solam, a village surrounded by cactus hedges and orchards on the lower southwestern slope of Jebel ed-Duchy ("Hill of Moreh"). It commands an uninterrupted view across the plain of Esdraelon to Mt. Carmel, which is about 15 miles distant. It also looks far across the valley of Jezreel to the slopes of Gilboa on the South. It therefore meets satisfactorily the conditions of Joshua and 1 Samuel. A question has, however, been raised as to its identity with the Shunem of 2 Kings 4. Elisha's home was in Samaria. Apparently Carmel was one of his favorite haunts. If he passed Shunem "continually" (<a href="/2_kings/4-9.htm">2 Kings 4:9</a>), going to and coming from the mountain, it involved a very long detour if this were the village visited. It would seem more natural to identify the Shunem of Elisha with the Sanim of Eusebius, Onomasticon, which is said to be in the territory of Sebaste (Samaria), in the region of Akrabatta: or perhaps with Salim, fully a mile North of Taanach, as nearer the line of travel between Samaria and Carmel.<br><br>There is, however, nothing to show that Elisha's visits to Shunem were paid on his journeys between Samaria and Carmel. It may have been his custom to visit certain cities on circuit, on business calling for his personal attention, e.g. in connection with the "schools of the prophets." Materials do not exist on which any certain conclusion can rest. Both Solam Salim are on the edge of the splendid grain fields of Esdraelon (<a href="/2_kings/4-18.htm">2 Kings 4:18</a>).<br><br>W.
