Chapter 8

KJV - 2 Kings 8:1

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.

Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he brought back to life, saying, "Go away with your family and live wherever you can live. The Lord has caused a food shortage, and it will last in the land for seven years."
