SHUNAMMITE
Shunammite
(Heb. with the art. hash-Shunammith’. [in 1Ki 2:22, the shorter form ], the Shunammitess; Sept. v.r. ), a native of SHUNEM, as is plain from 2Ki 4:1. It is applied to two persons Abishag, the nurse of king David (1Ki 1:3; 1Ki 1:15; 1Ki 2:17; 1Ki 2:21-22), and the nameless hostess of Elisha (2Ki 4:12; 2Ki 4:25; 2Ki 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 (Son 6:13). But this lacks probability.

Shunammite
shoona-mt (, shunammth, , shunammth; Codex Vaticanus , Somanetis; Codex Alexandrinus , Soumanites): Applied to natives of Shunem.
(1) Abishag, who was brought to minister to the aged king David, love for whom led Adonijah to his doom (1Ki 1:3, 1Ki 1:15; 1Ki 2:17, etc.).
(2) The woman, name unknown, whose son Elisha raised from the dead (2Ki 4:12, etc.). Later when apparently she had become a widow, after seven years’ absence on account of famine, in the land of the Philistines, she returned to find her property in the hands of others. Elisha’s intervention secured its restoration (2Ki 8:1-6).
(3) The Shulammite (Son 6:13). In this name there is the exchange of l for n which is common.
