From the Death of Ahab to the Captivity of the Ten Tribes - Flavius Josephus

Israel, heard that Berthadad was dead, he recovered out of the terror and
dread he had been in on his account, and was very glad to live in peace.
Footnotes:
1. That this woman who cried to Elisha, and who in our Bible is styled "the
wife of one of the sons of the prophets," 2 Kings 4:1, was no other than
the widow of Obadiah, the good steward of Ahab, is confirmed by the
Chaldee paraphrast, and by the Rabbins and others. Nor is that unlikely
which Josephus here adds, that these debts were contracted by her
husband for the support of those "hundred of the Lord's prophets, whom
he maintained by fifty in a cave," in the days of Ahab and Jezebel, 1
Kings 18:4; which circumstance rendered it highly fit that the prophet
Elisha should provide her a remedy, and enable her to redeem herself
and her sons from the fear of that slavery which insolvent debtors were
liable to by the law of Moses, Leviticus 25:39; Matthew 18:25; which he
did accordingly, with God's help, at the expense of a miracle.
2. Dr. Hudson, with very good reason, suspects that there is no small defect
in our present copies of Josephus, just before the beginning of this
section, and that chiefly as to that distinct account which he had given us
reason to expect in the first section, and to which he seems to refer, ch.
8. sect. 6. concerning the glorious miracles which Elisha wrought, which
indeed in our Bibles are not a few, 2 Kings 6-9., but of which we have
several omitted in Josephus's present copies. One of those histories,
omitted at present, was evidently in his Bible, I mean that of the curing
of Nanman's leprosy, 2 Kings 5.; for he plainly alludes to it, B. III. ch.
11. sect. 4, where he observes, that "there were lepers in many nations
who yet have been in honor, and not only free from reproach and
avoidance, but who have been great captains of armies, and been
intrusted with high offices in the commonwealth, and have had the
privilege of entering into holy places and temples." But what makes me
most regret the want of that history in our present copies of Josephus is
