Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Kings 8:16-24

5. Jehoram’s evil reign in Judah 8:16-24Jehoshaphat appointed his son Jehoram coregent the year Jehoshaphat went off to join forces with Ahab in battle at Ramoth-gilead (853 B.C.). For the next five years Jehoram served with his father. In 848 B.C. he began ruling alone and did so for the next eight years (until 841 B.C.). His reign overlapped the reigns of Ahaziah and Jehoram (whom the NASB called Joram from now on) in Israel. It is possible that the writing prophet Obadiah ministered and... read more

Elisha and the Shunammite. Elisha and Hazael. Reigns of Jehoram and Ahaziah of Judah1. Then spake Elisha] The occasion is not indicated, all the stories related of Elisha in this and the three preceding chapters being disconnected. A famine] Perhaps the same as that referred to in 2 Kings 4:38. 2. The land of the Philistines] This was a corn-growing district, near the still more productive country of Egypt. 3. To cry unto the king] Her property, being vacant during her absence, had seemingly... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 8:1-29

THE SHUNAMITE AGAIN (vv.1-6) The Shunamite woman is typical of the godly remnant of Israel. She had learned the grace of God in giving new life (ch.4:17) and further in resurrection power (ch.4:32-37). Now she is to learn His grace in sustaining her in time of famine and in restoring all her possessions. Elisha tells her to leave and go wherever she may find a place, because the Lord had called for a seven year famine. This reminds us of the seven year tribulation that is to come specially... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 8:1-29

ELISHA AND THE SYRIAN INVASION THE STRATAGEM AT DOTHAN (2 Kings 6:8-23 ) The incident in 2 Kings 6:1-7 seems an interpolation; and some think it belongs at 2 Kings 4:38 in connection with the two miracles, having a somewhat similar occasion. “Swim” (2 Kings 6:6 ) is in the Hebrew the same as “float,” and the idea seems to be that by throwing the stick into the water the iron was caused to come to the surface where the young man could get it. It is difficult to say when the event of 2... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Kings 8:21-24

Nothing further remarkable appears in the lives of these impious men but that they lived, transgressed, and died. Indeed, in the parallel history in the book of the Chronicles, we are told that this monarch died not much unlike the traitor Judas, for his bowels gushed out. And as he had lived most probably without being beloved, so he died unlamented. 2 Chronicles 21:18-19 . read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 8:16-24

16-24 A general idea is given of Jehoram's badness. His father, no doubt, had him taught the true knowledge of the Lord, but did ill to marry him to the daughter of Ahab; no good could come of union with an idolatrous family. read more
