2 Kings 8:1-5

1Now 1ElishaH477 spokeH1696 to the womanH802 whoseH834 sonH1121 he had restoredH2421 toH2421 lifeH2421, sayingH559, “AriseH6965 and goH1980 2with your householdH1004, and liveH1481 whereverH834 you can liveH1481; for the 3LordH3068 has calledH7121 for a famineH7458, and 4it will indeedH1571 comeH935 on the landH776 for sevenH7651 yearsH8141.”

2So the womanH802 aroseH6965 and actedH6213 in accordance with the wordH1697 of the manH376 of GodH430: she wentH1980 with her householdH1004 and residedH1481 in the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430 for sevenH7651 yearsH8141.

3Then at the endH7097 of sevenH7651 yearsH8141, the womanH802 returnedH7725 from the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430; and she wentH3318 to 5appealH6817 to the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her fieldH7704.

4Now the kingH4428 was speakingH1696 with 6GehaziH1522, the servantH5288 of the manH376 of GodH430, sayingH559, “PleaseH4994 reportH5608 to me allH3605 the greatH1419 thingsH1419 that ElishaH477 has doneH6213.”

5And as he was reportingH5608 to the kingH4428 7howH834 he had restoredH2421 toH2421 lifeH2421 the one who was deadH4191, beholdH2009, the womanH802 whoseH834 sonH1121 he had restoredH2421 toH2421 lifeH2421 8appealedH6817 to the kingH4428 for her houseH1004 and for her fieldH7704. And GehaziH1522 saidH559, “My lordH113 the kingH4428, thisH2088 is the womanH802 and thisH2088 is her sonH1121, whomH834 ElishaH477 restoredH2421 toH2421 lifeH2421.”
