2 Kings 8:24 meaning

In this intriguing account, we observe the turbulent reign of Jehoram of Judah, and God's providential care for those faithful to Him. In the midst of Israel's deepening apostasy and the psychic turmoil, the Shunammite woman, whose son Elisha had miraculously restored to life, receives a prophecy of a forthcoming famine. Following Elisha's instruction, she takes her family to sojourn in the land of the Philistines for seven years. After the famine, she returns to reclaim her lost property, which leads her to the king of Judah.
