"And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored to life him that was dead, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life." — 2 Kings 8:5 (ASV)
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had
restored a dead body to life
Which was the Shunammite's son:
that, behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life cried to the
king for her house, and for her land ;
came and presented her petition to the king at that very instant:
and Gehazi said, my lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her
son, whom Elisha restored to life ;
the very person I am speaking of.
