2 YooKumkani 8:5

5 Kwathi, esamxelela ukumkani ukuphilisa kwakhe umntu owayeselefile, kwabonakala laa ntokazi, abephilise unyana wayo, izibika ngendlu yayo nentsimi yayo kukumkani. Wathi uGehazi, Nkosi yam, kumkani, yiloo ntokazi ke le, nguloo nyana wayo waphiliswayo nguElisha ke lo.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life,.... Which was the Shunammite's son:

that, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the king for her house, and for her land; came and presented her petition to the king at that very instant:

and Gehazi said, my lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life; the very person I am speaking of.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 2 Kings 8:5. This is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. — This was a very providential occurrence in behalf of the Shunammite. The relation given by Gehazi was now corroborated by the woman herself; the king was duly affected, and gave immediate orders for the restoration of her land.
