And Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had revived, saying, Rise up and go, you and your household. And stay where you can stay, for Jehovah has called for a famine. And also, it shall come on the land seven years.

And the woman rose up and did according to the word of the man of God. And she and her household went and stayed in the land of the Philistines seven years.

And it happened at the end of seven years that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, and went to cry to the king for her house, and for her field.

And the king was speaking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Please tell me all of the great things that Elisha has done.

And it happened as he was telling the king how he had revived the dead, then, behold, the woman whose son he had revived was crying to the king for her house and for her field. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, andthis is her son whom Elisha revived.

And the king asked the woman, and she told him. And the king appointed to her a certain eunuch, saying, Give back all that she has, and all the increase of the field from the day she left the land even until now.
