II Kings 8:1
The Scripture
(1) Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.
Chapter overview (whole chapter)
The Shunammite woman's land was restored to her by the king after Gehazi recounted Elisha's miracle, while Elisha wept upon foreseeing the great evil that Hazael would inflict on Israel after becoming king of Syria by smothering Ben-hadad. The chapter also records the wicked reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah over Judah, both of whom walked in the ways of the house of Ahab.
