3 Au bout des sept ans, la femme revint du pays des Philistins, et elle alla implorer le roi au sujet de sa maison et de son champ.
4 Le roi s’entretenait avec Guéhazi, serviteur de l’homme de Dieu, et il disait: Raconte-moi, je te prie, toutes les grandes choses qu’Élisée a faites.
5 Et pendant qu’il racontait au roi comment Élisée avait rendu la vie à un mort, la femme dont Élisée avait fait revivre le fils vint implorer le roi au sujet de sa maison et de son champ. Guéhazi dit: O roi, mon seigneur, voici la femme, et voici son fils qu’Élisée a fait revivre.
6 Le roi interrogea la femme, et elle lui fit le récit. Puis le roi lui donna un eunuque, auquel il dit: Fais restituer tout ce qui appartient à cette femme, avec tous les revenus du champ, depuis le jour où elle a quitté le pays jusqu’à maintenant.
