*
Then spake Elisha unto the woman ,
whose son he had restored to life ,
saying ,
Arise ,
and go thou and thine household ,
and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn :
for the LORD hath called for a famine ;
and it shall also come upon the land seven years .
*
And the woman arose ,
and did after the saying 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 unto the king for her house and for her land .
*
And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God ,
saying ,
Tell me ,
I pray thee ,
all the great things that Elisha hath done .
*
And it came to pass ,
as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life ,
that ,
behold ,
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 unto 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 .
