Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 will also come upon the land seven years .
*
And 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 .
*
And it came to pass 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 .
*
Now the king was talking with Gehazi the attendant of the man of God ,
saying ,
Tell me ,
I pray you ,
all the great things that Elisha has done .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead ,
that ,
look ,
the woman ,
whose son he had restored to life ,
cried 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 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 .
