Joram Restores The Shunammite's Land

¹ Elisha said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Get ready, you and your household, and go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the Lord has announced a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.” ² So the woman got ready and did what the man of God said. She and her household lived as foreigners in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
