The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 7:1-20

The sin of the scoffer, and its punishment. Unbelief may be involuntary, and so neither incur guilt nor deserve punishment. St. Paul "obtained mercy" notwithstanding his bitter persecution of the, early Christians, "because he did it ignorantly in unbelief" ( 1 Timothy 1:13 ). Modem skeptics are, no doubt, in many cases unable to believe, their eyes being blinded through their education, through ingrained prejudice or invincible ignorance. But to scoff at religion must be at all times a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 7:2

Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned ; rather, the lord , or the captain , as the word שׁלישׁ is commonly translated ( Exodus 14:7 ; Exodus 15:4 ; 2 Samuel 23:8 ; 1 Kings 9:22 ; 2 Kings 9:25 ; 2 Kings 10:25 ; 2 Kings 15:25 ; 1 Chronicles 11:11 ; 1 Chronicles 12:18 ; 2 Chronicles 8:9 ). (For the habit of kings to lean on the hand of an attendant, see above, 2 Kings 5:18 .) Answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 7:1

The division between the chapters is most awkward here. Elisha, in this verse, replies to the king’s challenge in 2 Kings 6:33 - that his God, Yahweh, will give deliverance in the space of a day. On the morrow, by the same time in the day, the famine will have ceased, and food will be even cheaper than usual.A measure of fine flour - literally, “a seah of fine flour;” about a peck and a half.For a shekel - About 2 shillings 8 12 d.Two measures of burley - Or, “two seahs of barley;” about three... read more

A lord - Rather, “the captain,” as in Exodus 14:7; 1 Kings 9:22; etc. The term itself, שׁלישׁ shâlı̂ysh (derived from שׁלושׁ shâlôsh, “three,”) may be compared with the Latin “tribunus.”Windows - Rather, “sluices” (compare Genesis 7:11). The “lord” means to say “If Yahweh were to open sluices in heaven, and pour down grain as He poured down rain in the time of the Deluge, even then could there be such abudnance as thou speakest of?” read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Kings 7:1

2 Kings 7:1. Then When things were at the worst; when all help and relief were despaired of, and the king was impatient of waiting any longer; said Elisha To the king, who was now come to him, (2 Kings 7:18,) and to his courtiers, who were come with him, 2 Kings 7:2. Hear ye the word of the Lord Hear what he saith; hear it, and believe it. Thus saith the Lord He whom you have so highly offended, and at present despise and refuse to wait upon, or wait for, any longer; He, I say, of... read more

2 Kings 7:2. A lord on whose hand the king leaned When he walked; said, Behold, if the Lord would make windows in heaven Through which he should rain down corn, as once he did manna; might this thing be? He could not conceive, considering the prodigious famine that then reigned in Samaria, and their being surrounded by a powerful army, that it was possible there should be such a change wrought by any means in a few hours, as that there should be such plenty to-morrow, where there was... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 7:1-20

Miracles of warning to Israel (6:8-8:15)The remaining stories of Elisha concentrate on his dealings with the rulers of Israel and Syria. God was going to use Syria to punish Israel for its sin during the period of the Omri dynasty, but first he had various lessons to teach the two nations.On one occasion when Israel and Syria were fighting each other, Elisha repeatedly warned the Israelite king of Syrian ambushes (8-10). The Syrian king was furious when he learnt why his ambushes failed, and... read more
