2 Kings 8:1-5

1Now 1Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise and go 2with your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn; for the 3Lord has called for a famine, and 4it will even come on the land for seven years.”

2So 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.

3At the end of seven years, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went out to 5appeal to the king for her house and for her field.

4Now the king was talking with 6Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Please relate to me all the great things that Elisha has done.”

5As he was relating to the king 7how he had restored to life the one who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life 8appealed to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, this is the woman and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.”
