2 Kings 8:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:5

And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had
restored a dead body to life
Which was the Shunammite's son:

that, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the
king for her house, and for her land;
came and presented her petition to the king at that very instant:

and Gehazi said, my lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her
son, whom Elisha restored to life;
the very person I am speaking of.
