Second Kings 4:8

And it came to pass one day that Elisha passed through Shunem [a city in the eastern Jezreel Valley] where a powerful (influential, rich; "great" – Hebr. gadol) woman lived. She persuaded (coerced) him to eat bread [stay for a meal]. And so it was that whenever he passed by, he would come in and eat bread.
