Both the physical and the spiritual are healed, and Zeezrom "leaps" to his feet. This tells us that the change is not gradual, but that there is an immediate improvement. Of course this should rapidly be told through the land. In the ancient world before modern medicines, there were many more sicknesses that resulted in death than in recovery. To be burning with fever as was Zeezrom might have typically been a death sentence. In contrast to this dire expectation, Zeezrom "leaps" to his feet. No wonder the story is told abroad.
