What does 2 Kings 8:5 mean?

Just as Gehazi was telling the king how Elisha brought someone back to life, the woman whose son was restored came to appeal to the king for her house and land. Gehazi said, My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is her son—the one Elisha brought back to life! 2 Kings 8:5 - Modern Text Bible

(The timing is remarkable: as Gehazi tells the story, the woman herself appears, confirming the miracle.)
