He said to him, “Say to her, Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What may be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king, or to the captain of the army?” And she answered, “I am living among my people.”
So the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God. She went with her household and sojourned in the land of the Philistines for seven years.
When the king questioned the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her an official, saying, “Restore all that was hers and all the proceeds of the field from the day that she abandoned the land until now.”
