Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. And it came to pass at the sevens years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now.-2 Kings 8:1-6***A generous woman in Shunem, in the portion of the Promised Land allotted to the Israelite tribe of Issachar, regularly fed Elisha the prophet whenever Elisha came to the area. The woman persuaded her husband to add a room to their home for Elisha, enabling Elisha to stay with them during his visits. Elisha wanted to grant the woman a special favor. However, the Shunammite woman did not request anything. Elisha questioned his servant Gehazi and learned that the woman and her elderly husband did not have a son. Thus, Elisha spoke prophetically to the woman, proclaiming that in approximately 1 year she would give birth to a son. The next year around the same time, the woman gave birth to a son. Several years thereafter, the son died. The woman immediately rushed to see Elisha, and Elisha, Gehazi and the woman went to her home. Elisha prayed to the Lord God, stretched himself upon the son twice, and the son was alive again. Before another bout of famine occurred in the northern nation of Israel, Elisha told the woman to leave the land. When the Shunammite woman returned, King Joram (Jehoram), the 9th king to reign over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, was speaking to Gehazi. Over 800 years after Jehu killed Joram and became the 10th king to rule over all of the Israelites in the northern nation of Israel, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the Israelite tribe of Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by over 500 people, and returned to heaven.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 20:1-29, 27:12-23, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 19:17-23, 23:1-24:33, Judges 1:1-2:23, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings 1:1-13:25, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 7:1-5, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
