*
Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life ,
saying , "
Arise and go ,
you and your household ,
and stay wherever you can ;
for the LORD has called for a famine ,
and furthermore ,
it will come upon the land for seven years ."
*
So the woman arose and did according to the saying of the man of God ,
and she went with her household and dwelt in the land of the Philistines seven years .
*
It came to pass ,
at the end of seven years ,
that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines ;
and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land .
*
Then the king talked with Gehazi ,
the servant of the man of God ,
saying , "
Tell me ,
please ,
all the great things Elisha has done ."
*
Now it happened ,
as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life ,
that there was the woman whose son he had restored to life ,
appealing to the king for her house and for her land .
And Gehazi said , "
My lord ,
O king ,
this is the woman ,
and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life ."
*
And when the king asked the woman ,
she told him .
So the king appointed a certain officer for her ,
saying , "
Restore all that was hers ,
and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she left the land until now ."
