Who is the king described in 2 Kings 8:1–6?
score:6
This is Jehoram, King of Israel. The woman sojourns to The land of the Philestines to avoid the famine, and then returns to Israel.
A good exegesis and commentary of this, from the perspective of Gehazi, can be found here: http://biblehub.com/topical/g/gehazi.htm
More is written about Jehoram starting in 2 Kings 3:
1 In the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria, and he reigned twelve years. 2 He did what was evil in the sight of the LORD, though not like his father and mother, for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made. 3 Nevertheless, he clung to the sin of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which he made Israel to sin; he did not depart from it. - 2 Kings 3:1-3 ESV
It should be noted that the subject of Jehoram is a little confusing,since there were 2 Jehorams, but Jehoram, King of Judah (also known as Joram) did not come into power until after this event. This confusion between Jehorams and the dating conventions has been addressed very well by Edwin Thiele: http://www.thischristianjourney.com/thischristianjourney/generalpages/joram_jehoram_problem.htm
