1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “The Lord has warned that there will be no food here for seven years. Take your family and go live somewhere else for a while.”
2 The woman did exactly what Elisha had said and went to live in Philistine territory.She and her family lived there seven years.
3 Then she returned to Israel and immediately begged the king to give back her house and property.
