2 Kings 2:16

Context
2:16 They said to him, “Look, there are fifty capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the Lord¹ may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.” But Elisha² replied, “Don’t send them out.”

2 Kings 7:2

Context
7:2 An officer who was the king’s right-hand man³ responded to the prophet,⁴ “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?”⁵ Elisha⁶ said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!”⁷

2 Kings 7:19

Context
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?”⁸ Elisha⁹ said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!”¹⁰

¹tn Or “the spirit of the Lord.”

²tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³tn Heb “the officer on whose hand the king leans.”

⁴tn Heb “man of God.”

⁵tn Heb “the Lord was making holes in the sky, could this thing be?” Opening holes in the sky would allow the waters stored up there to pour to the earth and assure a good crop. But, the officer argues, even if this were to happen, it would take a long time to grow and harvest the crop.

⁶tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁷tn Heb “you will not eat from there.”

⁸tn Heb “the Lord was making holes in the sky, could this thing be?” See the note at 7:2.

⁹tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹⁰tn 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.
