The woman whose son Elisha had restored to life begs the king for her house and her land, and the king appoints an officer for her
엘리사가 아들을 다시 살려준 여인이 자기 집과 전토를 위하여 왕에게 호소하고 왕이 관리를 임명함
2 Kings 8:1–6: Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, “Arise, and go, you and your household, and stay for a while wherever you can; for the LORD has called for a famine. It will also come on the land for seven years.” The woman arises, and does according to the man of God’s word. She goes with her household, and lives in the land of the Philistines for seven years. At the end of seven years, the woman returns from the land of the Philistines. Then she goes out to beg the king for her house and for her land. 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.” As he was telling the king how he had restored to life him who was dead, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life begs the king for her house and for her land. Gehazi says, “My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life.” When the king asks the woman, she tells him. So the king appoints 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.” At 8:1 the Korean Revised Version reads 엘리사가 이전에 아들을 다시 살려준 여인에게 이르되, where WEB reads “Now Elisha had spoken to the woman whose son he had restored to life”; at 8:5 it names Gehazi and Elisha (게하시가 곧 엘리사가 죽은 자를 다시 살린 일을 왕에게 이야기할 때에), where WEB says “he” twice, and calls her 그 다시 살린 아이의 어미, the mother of the child who had been restored to life.
