2 Kings 8:1 · Masoretic Text (WLC)
AMPLIFIED · 1 of 3
Now Elisha had said to the [Shunammite] woman whose son he had restored to life, “Prepare and go, you and your household, and stay temporarily wherever you can; for the Lord has called for a famine, and moreover, it will come on the land [and continue] for seven years.”
Elisha's advance warning about the coming famine, given specifically to the woman whose son he raised, shows the same personal attentiveness that marked their whole relationship continuing years later.
