It shall also come on the land seven years." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>The woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household, and lived in the land of the Philistines seven years. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>It happened at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines. Then she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>Now the king was talking with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please tell me all the great things that Elisha has done." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>It happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, that look, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi said, "My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>When the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to 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."<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>Elisha came to Damascus; and Benhadad the king of Aram was sick. It was told him, saying, "The man of God has come here." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>The king said to Hazael, "Take a present in your hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, "Your son Benhadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'" <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>Elisha said to him, "Go, say to him, 'You shall surely recover;' however the LORD has shown me that he shall surely die." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>He settled his gaze steadfastly on him, until he was ashamed. Then the man of God wept. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>Hazael said, "Why do you weep, my lord?" He answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel. You will set their strongholds on fire, and you will kill their young men with the sword, and will dash in pieces their little ones, and rip up their women with child." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" Elisha answered, "The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>Then he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" He answered, "He told me that you would surely recover." <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>It happened on the next day, that he took a thick cloth, dipped it in water, and spread it on his face, so that he died. Then Hazael reigned in his place.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>In the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat then being king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah began to reign. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>He was thirty-two years old when he began to reign. He reigned eight years in Jerusalem. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife. He did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>However the LORD would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he promised him to give to him a lamp for his children always.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Then Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, and the captains of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>The rest of the acts of Joram, and all that he did, aren't they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah began to reign. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>Twenty-two years old was Ahaziah when he began to reign; and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri king of Israel. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>He walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did the house of Ahab; for he was the son-in-law of the house of Ahab.<p> <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>He went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth Gilead: and the Arameans wounded Joram. <span class="reftext"><a href="//biblehub.com/2_kings/8-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him at Ramah, when he fought against Hazael king of Aram.
