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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 1 is found in chapter 8 of 2 Kings. Elisha warns the Shunammite woman about a future famine and tells her to leave the land temporarily. After seven years she returns and asks the king for the restoration of her property. The narrative providentially coincides with the moment when the king hears Gehazi recount Elisha’s deeds, including the episode of the resurrected son. The story connects apparently separate events and shows how the memory of God’s works can influence present decisions. The restoration of the woman’s property also demonstrates the continuity of divine care beyond the initial miracle.
