Elisha Predicts Seven Years of
Famine
After that Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored and told her to take her household with her and leave and go wherever she could find a place to live, because the Lord has called upon the land seven years of famine. So the woman listened to Elisha’s advice and went and dwelled seven years in the land of the Philistines. And after the end of the seven years, the woman went back home and petitioned the king for her house and her lands. And the king spoke with Gehazi the servant of the man of God and asked him to tell him of all the great things that Elisha the man of God had done. And it happened that while Gehazi was telling the king how the man of God had restored life unto a dead boy, the woman came crying to the king for her house and her land; and Gehazi told the king that this was the same woman whose son had been restored. And the king asked the woman if it was indeed true that Elisha had restored his son; and the woman confirmed that it was so. And so the king assigned unto her a certain officer with instructions to restore unto the woman her house and lands and all the fruit and all the increase taken from her land for the full period of seven years.
