2 Kings 7:2

Context
7:2 An officer who was the king’s right-hand man¹ responded to the prophet,² “Look, even if the Lord made it rain by opening holes in the sky, could this happen so soon?”³ Elisha⁴ said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!”⁵

2 Kings 7:17

Context

7:17 Now the king had placed the officer who was his right-hand man⁶ at the city gate. When the people rushed out, they trampled him to death in the gate.⁷ This fulfilled the prophet’s word which he had spoken when the king tried to arrest him.⁸

¹tn Heb “the officer on whose hand the king leans.”

²tn Heb “man of God.”

³tn 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.

⁴tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁵tn Heb “you will not eat from there.”

⁶tn Heb “the officer on whose hand he leans.”

⁷tn Heb “and the people trampled him in the gate and he died.”

⁸tn Heb “just as the man of God had spoken, [the word] which he spoke when the king came down to him.”
