2 Kings 8:1-3

New International Reader's Version

The Woman From Shunem Gets Her Land Back

8 Elisha had brought a woman’s son back to life. He had said to her, “Go away with your family. Stay for a while anywhere you can. The Lord has decided that there won’t be enough food in the land. That will be true for seven years.” ² The woman did just as the man of God told her to. She and her family went away. They stayed in the land of the Philistines for seven years.

³ The seven years passed. Then she came back from the land of the Philistines. She went to the king of Israel. She wanted to ask him to get her house and land back.
