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 So the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God; she went with her household and settled in the land of the Philistines seven years.

3 At the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she set out to appeal to the king for her house and her land.

4 Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done."

5 While he was telling the king how Elisha had restored a dead person to life, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and her land. Gehazi said, "My lord king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life."

6 When the king questioned the woman, she told him. So the king appointed an official for her, saying, "Restore all that was hers, together with all the revenue of the fields from the day that she left the land until now."
