1 Elisha had told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “Go away with your family. Stay wherever you can. The Lord has decided to send a famine on this country, and it will last seven years.”
2 The woman did what the man of God told her. She and her family went to live in Philistine territory for seven years.
3 At the end of seven years, the woman came home from Philistine territory but left again to make an appeal to the king about her house and land.
4 The king was talking to Gehazi, the servant of the man of God. He said, “Please tell me about all the great things Elisha has done.”
