Verse 17
1Ki 19:17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
Ver. 17. Shall Elisha slay. ] Elisha then hath his sword as well as Jehu and Hazael, though of another nature; viz., prayers, a threatenings, curses, which did all most certainly and infallibly come to pass. And whensoever Elisha unsheatheth and brandisheth his sword, it is a fair warning that the sword of Jehu and Hazael are at hand. See Hos 6:5 Jeremiah 1:10 .
a They that can stand against or escape the power of two kings, shall yet fall by the hand of prayer.
