Shunamite

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

A native of Shunem

The nurse of David and hostess of Elisha were so called (1 Kings 1:3³So they sought for a fair damsel throughout all the coasts of Israel, and found Abishag a Shunammite, and brought her to the king. (1 Kings 1:3); 2 Kings 4:12¹²And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him. (2 Kings 4:12)).
