2 Kings 8:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:4

And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God,
&c.] Elisha's servant, just at the same time the woman made her application to him; so that this was before he was dismissed from the service of the prophet, and consequently before the affair of Naaman's cure, and so before the siege of Samaria:

saying, tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath
done;
the miracles he wrought, as the dividing of the waters of Jordan, and healing those near Jericho; the affair of procuring water for the armies of the three kings in Edom he needed not to relate, since Jehoram was an eyewitness thereof; the next was the multiplying the widow's cruse of oil, when he in course came to those that were done for the Shunammite woman.

2 Kings 8:4 In-Context

2 The woman acted at once and did as the man of God had said - she went with her household and stayed in the land of the P'lishtim for seven years.

3 At the end of seven years the woman returned from the land of the P'lishtim and sought an audience with the king to claim her house and land.

4 The king was talking with Geichazi the servant of the man of God. "Tell me," he said, "all the great things Elisha has done."

5 Just as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead person to life, at that very moment the woman whose son he had restored to life came to the king with her claim for her house and land. Geichazi said, "My lord, king, this is the woman; and this is her son, the one Elisha restored to life."

6 On being asked by the king, the woman verified it. At this, the king appointed a special officer and charged him, "Restore everything that belongs to her, including the income her fields have produced from the day she left them until now."
