8 Now
Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Arise,
and depart with your household, and sojourn wherever you can, for the Lord has called for a famine, and
it will come upon the land for seven years.” 2 So
the woman arose and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with
her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. 3 And
at the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the
Philistines, she went to appeal to the king for her house and her land. 4 Now
the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying,
“Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.” 5 And
while he was telling the king how Elisha had restored the dead to life,
behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for
her house and her land. And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, here is the woman,
and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 And
when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed an official
for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, together with all the produce of
the fields from the day that she left the land until now.”
Love that our God is a
champion of the oppressed. How are you joining Him?
