F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Kings 4:8-24

Entertaining a Prophet 2 Kings 4:8-24 The real man needs a very small supply of outward comfort, because his life is hid in God. It does not consist in the abundance of things that he possesses, but in faith, love, and hope. What a noble testimony it would be to our character, if people who saw us going to and fro became convinced that “this is an holy man of God,” 2 Kings 4:9 ! Sunstroke in the tropics is a frequent cause of death, Psalms 121:6 . When a child is taken sick, it is the mother... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Kings 4:1-44

The ministry of Elisha stands in many respects in vivid contrast with that of Elijah. There is a gentleness about it which inevitably reminds us of that of the Messiah Himself in His day. Instead of suddenly appearing at critical moments, with thunder and flame, he seems to have moved about among the people, doing good wherever he came. Indeed, the ministries of Elijah and Elisha seem in many ways to suggest the ministries of John the Baptist and Jesus. In this chapter we have four instances... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:1-44

SECTION 8. The Wonder-working Ministry Of Elisha (2 Kings 4:1 to 2 Kings 8:15 ) It will be noted that from this point on, until 2 Kings 8:15, no king of Israel is mentioned by name, even though, for example, Naaman’s name is given in chapter 5, and Ben-hadad, the king of Aram, is mentioned in 2 Kings 6:24; 2 Kings 8:7. (The reign of Jehoram then recommences in 2 Kings 8:16). It is clear that the prophetic author was concerned at this point that our attention should be taken away from the... read more

1). A Wealthy Couple Provide A Permanent Lodging Place For Elisha For When He Visits Shunem (2 Kings 4:8-10 ). The story commences with the kindness of a wealthy couple who truly believe in YHWH to YHWH’s servant Elisha. Analysis. a And on one particular day Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman, and she constrained him to eat bread.

Elisha And The Shunammite Woman (2 Kings 4:8-37 ). Shunem was near a well travelled road between Mount Carmel and Jezreel, one which Elisha would use frequently. In the process he became recognised by a wealthy couple who built a small brick built room on their house for him to stay in. Having stayed there on numerous occasions, and wanting to demonstrate his gratitude, he promised the couple a son, in spite of the advanced age of the husband. The son was duly born. But sadly when he had... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:8-37

2 Kings 4:8-Haggai : . Elisha and the Shunammite Woman.— This gives one of the most delightful pictures of rural life in ancient Israel. It describes the kindly hospitality of the great lady of Shunem, the accommodation provided— a “ chamber with walls” ( mg.) and furniture— no makeshift arrangement, but such as befitted an honoured guest; the description of the boy’ s death, her drive from Shunem to Carmel to the prophet, Elisha’ s behaviour, as revealing his naturally considerate demeanour,... read more

Chamber on the wall—Probably, as in 2 Samuel 18:33, a chamber in the oleah, or porch, usually appropriated to strangers; secluded and suitable for quiet retirement. 2 Kings 4:13. I dwell among mine own people—i.e., I do not need court notice, for my life is serenely simple, and I am satisfied with the esteem of my neighbours. 2 Kings 4:16. Thou shalt embrace a... read more

2 Kings 4:8-38 What Elisha did for the Shunammite's son, the Church wishes to do for you. I. The Church is like Elisha because it touches you.
