It came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to make an appeal to the king for her house and for her land. (2 Kings 8:3)
When the woman left Israel and went to the land of the Philistines, she gave up any claim to the land that had been in her family for generations; hence she made this appeal.
Then the king talked with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, “Tell me, please, all the great things Elisha has done.” (2 Kings 8:4)
Even though Gehazi was a leper, the king had an insatiable curiosity to know the private history of a man who had done such incredible things; and from whom else could he receive this information other than through the prophet's own confidential servant?
