2 Kings 8:4-6
Context8:4 Now the king was talking to Gehazi, the prophet’s 1 servant, and said, “Tell me all the great things which Elisha has done.” 8:5 While Gehazi 2 was telling the king how Elisha 3 had brought the dead back to life, the woman whose son he had brought back to life came to ask the king for her house and field. 4 Gehazi said, “My master, O king, this is the very woman and this is her son whom Elisha brought back to life!” 8:6 The king asked the woman about it, and she gave him the details. 5 The king assigned a eunuch to take care of her request and ordered him, 6 “Give her back everything she owns, as well as the amount of crops her field produced from the day she left the land until now.”
