2 Kings 8:1-6

Bible Text

[1] Now Elisha had spoken to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn: for Yahweh has called for a famine; and it shall also come on the land seven years. [2] The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God; and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. [3] It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land. [4] Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done. [5] It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. [6] When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.
