Christian Standard Bible

The Shunammite’s Land Restored

8 Elisha said to the woman whose son he had restored to life,^(A) “Get ready, you and your household, and go live as a resident alien wherever you can. For the Lord has announced a seven-year famine,^(B) and it has already come to the land.”

² So the woman got ready and did what the man of God said. She and her household lived as resident aliens in the land of the Philistines for seven years. ³ When the woman returned from the land of the Philistines at the end of seven years,^(C) she went to appeal to the king for her house and field.^(D)
