3 E quando foram passados os sete anos, a mulher voltou da terra dos filisteus; depois saiu para clamar ao rei por sua casa, e por suas terras.

4 E havia o rei falado com Geazi, criado do homem de Deus, dizendo-lhe: Rogo-te que me contes todas as maravilhas que Eliseu fez.

5 E contando ele ao rei como havia feito viver a um morto, eis que a mulher, a cujo filho havia feito viver, veio clamar ao rei por sua casa e por suas terras. Então Geazi disse: Ó rei, meu senhor, esta é a mulher, e este é seu filho, ao qual Eliseu fez viver.

6 E perguntando o rei à mulher, ela lhe contou. Então o rei lhe deu um eunuco, dizendo-lhe: Faze-lhe restituir todas as coisas que eram suas, e todos os frutos das terras desde o dia que deixou esta terra até agora.
