1. Elisha had told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “Go away with your family. Stay wherever you can. The Lord has decided to send a famine on this country, and it will last seven years.”
2. The woman did what the man of God told her. She and her family went to live in Philistine territory for seven years.
3. At the end of seven years, the woman came home from Philistine territory but left again to make an appeal to the king about her house and land.
