Read the Story
Elisha told the Shunammite woman to leave. The Lord had called for a famine of seven years. She lived in the land of the Philistines. After seven years she came back. She went to the king to ask for her house and land.
Right then, Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha gave life to a dead boy. The woman came in, and Gehazi said this was the woman and her son. The king gave back her land and all its crops from those years.
Elisha went to Damascus. Ben Hadad was sick and sent Hazael to ask if he would get well. Elisha cried. He said Hazael would be king and do great harm to Israel. Hazael went back and took the throne. In Judah, Jehoram did evil like Ahab's family. But God would not destroy Judah. He kept a lamp for David's children.
Memory Verse
“However, Yahweh would not destroy Judah, for David his servant’s sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.”
