3 And when the seven years had ended, the woman returned from the land of the Philistines. And she departed, so that she might petition the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields.
4 Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, 'Describe for me all the great deeds that Elisha has done.'
5 And as he was describing for the king the manner in which he had raised the dead, the woman appeared, whose son he had restored to life, crying out to the king on behalf of her house and on behalf of her fields. And Gehazi said, 'My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha raised up.'
6 And the king questioned the woman. And she explained it to him. And the king appointed a eunuch to her, saying, 'Restore to her all that is hers, with all the proceeds of the fields, from the day that she left the land until the present.'
7 Also, Elisha arrived in Damascus, and Benhadad, the king of Syria, was ill. And they reported to him, saying, 'The man of God has arrived here.'
