    Hello Cynthia. You'll find this account in 2 Kings 4:8-37 & specifically verse 10 (about 'making a little chamber'). However, in this verse, 'making' probably doesn't refer to some special building work being done to create a room, rather, a case of 'providing & preparing' an existing small enclosed area of the building (that's fast against the wall & part of the wall) so that Elisha could reside. In some homes in the eastern culture, there's usually a room at the entrance of a house where guests come in, sit, & converse. Guests/visitors usually are not permitted to go further into the home, which is reserved only for family & relatives. This may be a similar situation that we see here in Shunem.
