Elisha found shelter with a wealthy woman who stayed there with her husband. She didn’t have a child, and was quite upset with it. She built a room for Elisha and ensured that he would stay there comfortably for whatever time he wanted to. However, she didn’t want any payment for the same. One day, Elisha called the woman and blessed her with a son, and said she would have a son next year. She was happy, but didn’t want to be fooled as it was something that she wanted for long. As promised she had a son next year, and she ensured that Elisha blessed him every day. One day, the boy fell sick and died. The woman was so upset that she came running to Elisha and said what had happened to her son. He came and saw the small boy, who was dead cold. He prayed to God and soon the boy became alive. As soon as she saw her son alive, she knew that the people of Israel had a prophet who would take care of the misery of the people.
