2 Kings 4:27
4:27 But when she reached the prophet on the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the prophet said, “Leave her alone, for she is very upset. 1 The Lord has kept the matter hidden from me; he didn’t tell me about it.”
2 Kings 7:19
7:19 But the officer replied to the prophet, “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?” 2 Elisha 3 said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!” 4
1 tn Heb “her soul [i.e., ‘disposition’] is bitter.”
2 tn Heb “the Lord was making holes in the sky, could this thing be?” See the note at 7:2.
3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
4 tn Heb “you will not eat from there.”
tn In the Hebrew text vv. 18-19a are one lengthy sentence, “When the man of God spoke to the king…, the officer replied to the man of God, ‘Look…so soon?’” The translation divides this sentence up for stylistic reasons.
