Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 2:4

1-7. when the Lord would take up Elijah—A revelation of this event had been made to the prophet; but, unknown to him, it had also been revealed to his disciples, and to Elisha in particular, who kept constantly beside him. Gilgal—This Gilgal (Jiljil) was near Ebal and Gerizim; a school of the prophets was established there. At Beth-el there was also a school of the prophets, which Elijah had founded, notwithstanding that place was the headquarters of the calf-worship; and at Jericho there was... read more

The transfer of prophetic power 2:1-14The Gilgal in view may have been the one between Jericho and the Jordan, or it may have been one about seven miles north of Bethel since Elijah and Elisha went down to Bethel (2 Kings 2:2). [Note: Wiseman, p. 195.] This account presupposes previous revelation, not in Scripture, that this day was to be Elijah’s last on earth (2 Kings 2:3). By granting Elisha permission to remain behind (2 Kings 2:2, et al.), Elijah was testing Elisha’s commitment to himself... read more

4. Jehoram’s evil reign in Israel 2:1-8:15Jehoram reigned 12 years in Israel (852-841 B.C.). His reign overlapped with Jehoshaphat and Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram’s coregency (853-848 B.C.) as well as Jehoram of Judah’s sole reign (848-841 B.C.). During these 12 years Elisha, whose name means "my God is salvation," was very active in Israel. In keeping with his theological purpose, the writer of Kings again emphasized incidents of spiritual significance that took place at this time (cf. 1 Kings... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 2:1-25

Elijah’s Translation to HeavenThe great service rendered to Israel by the prophet whose life is here closed was the stand which he made for the religion of Jehovah when its supremacy was threatened by the worship of the Zidonian Baal introduced by Jezebel. In view of such a crisis, the degradation of Jehovah’s worship by the association with it of the golden calves set up by Jeroboam could for a while be ignored, a superstitious form of the true faith being preferable to total apostasy; though... read more

(3) The sons of the prophets.—See Notes on 1 Kings 20:35; 1 Samuel 10:10; 1 Samuel 19:20. There was a guild of prophets at Beth-el.Came forth to Elisha.—Who probably walked a little way before his master, to announce his approach.And said unto him.—The prophetic college had been divinely forewarned of Elijah’s departure.The Lord will take away . . . to day.—“To day” is emphatic. “Knowest thou that this day Jehovah is about to take away thy lord from beside thee?” The word “head” may signify... read more

(4) And Elijah said.—The exact repetition of the language of 2 Kings 2:2-3 in this and the next two verses, appears to indicate that the narrative had originally been handed on by oral tradition, probably in the prophetic guilds at the local sanctuaries. read more

Elijah's Farewell to Elisha 2 Kings 2:9 I. We see here the last act of a great life. It is not perhaps what we should have expected from a man like Elijah the Tishbite. But, in truth, the greatest and the strongest men are not unfrequently the simplest and the tenderest; and Elijah, whose life had been passed in vehement speech and in heroic action Elijah is thinking, just like any humble peasant, of what he can best do for his, as yet, undistinguished follower. 'Ask what I shall do for thee... read more

ELISHA2 Kings 2:1-25"He did wonders in his life, and at death even his works were marvelous. For all this the people repented not."- Sirach 48:14-15AT this point we enter into the cycle of supernatural stories, which gathered round the name of Elisha in the prophetic communities. Some of them are full of charm and tenderness; but in some cases it is difficult to point out their intrinsic superiority over the ecclesiastical miracles with which monkish historians have embellished the lives of the... read more
