Gehazi said, “My master the king, this is the woman! And this is her son whom Elisha brought back to life!” The king wanted to know all about it, and so she told him the story. The king assigned an officer to take care of her, saying, “Make sure she gets everything back that’s hers, plus all profits from the farm from the time she left until now.”
