2 Kings 7:2

Context

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?”⁶ Elisha⁷ said, “Look, you will see it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of the food!”⁸

2 Kings 10:19

Context
10:19 So now, bring to me all the prophets of Baal, as well as all his servants and priests.⁹ None of them must be absent, for I am offering a great sacrifice to Baal. Any of them who fail to appear will lose their lives.” But Jehu was tricking them¹⁰ so he could destroy the servants of Baal.

2 Kings 12:18

Context
12:18 King Jehoash of Judah collected all the sacred items that his ancestors Jehoshaphat, Jehoram, and Ahaziah, kings of Judah, had consecrated, as well as his own sacred items and all the gold that could be found in the treasuries of the Lord’s temple and the royal palace. He sent it all¹¹ to King Hazael of Syria, who then withdrew¹² from Jerusalem.

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

⁷tn Heb “he”; the referent (Elisha) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

⁸tn 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.

⁹tn Heb “and now, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests summon to me.”

¹⁰tn Heb “acted with deception [or, ‘trickery’].”

¹¹tn The object (“it all”) is supplied in the translation for clarification.

¹²tn Heb “went up.”
