'Appeal' in the Bible

When the woman returned from the land of the Philistines at the end of seven years, she went to appeal to the king for her house and field.

While he was telling the king how Elisha restored the dead son to life, the woman whose son he had restored to life came to appeal to the king for her house and field. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman and this is the son Elisha restored to life.”
