Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Kings 4:38-41

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTES.—2 Kings 4:38. Sons of the prophets were sitting before him—This means, not that they lived in common with Elisha, but sat as scholars before him for teaching. Seethe pottage—A kind of thick broth of rice or meal, vegetables, and meat. 2 Kings 4:40. There is death in the pot—Probably the “wild gourds” (2 Kings 4:39) were the fruit of the colocynth, exceedingly bitter, and causing severe cholic. Freely eaten, they might cause death. 2 Kings 4:42-44. Barley loaves,... read more

HOMILETICS OF 2 Kings 4:42-44THE SUPERABUNDANT GOODNESS OF GODI. Provides for the daily wants of man. “Give unto the people that they may eat” (2 Kings 4:42). How enormous are the thought and toil involved in supplying the daily wants of a simple city—e.g., London! How unremitting the care, how affluent the goodness, of that God who supplies the multifarious and incessant demands of the world! Vast as is the consumption, the supply never fails. “The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 4:8-38

2 Kings 4:8-38 What Elisha did for the Shunammite's son, the Church wishes to do for you. I. The Church is like Elisha because it touches you. It touches you through its one book, the Bible; it touches you through its prayers, and praises, and sermons. II. The Church is like Elisha because it fits you. As the prophet carefully adapted himself to the child, so the great truths of the Gospel fit your mind and heart. Christ lowers His vast mind to our level, and teaches us truth as we are able to... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 4:9

2 Kings 4:9 This brief, simple statement, taken in its general form, sets forth so far what we ought to be in our own life. I. "A man of God" a very striking title to give to a human being, and a very grand one, even if for the moment we drop the adjective "holy." And yet is not this the title which every man should be able to adopt and proud to bear? We all come from His creating hand. We live on His beneficence. We are subject to His providence. A great many different kinds of life men can... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 4:10

2 Kings 4:10 I. How did this little chamber come to be? It originated in the quick and clear conception of this woman of Shunem. The perceiving, the observing, eye is the gate of knowledge, the quickener of sympathy, the informer to benevolence. It brings before the benevolent heart the material on which it can act. It is at least the hewer of wood and the drawer of water to nobler faculties than itself. II. Let us see how these nobler things come out in this case. Immediate action is taken. It... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Kings 4:31

2 Kings 4:31 I. The reason why Gehazi failed to awaken the child was that he was not a fit agent for the wonder-working power. God saw in him the selfishness, the covetousness, which soon came to light, and so He refused to acknowledge him. To give life a man must have life, and have it in its purity and abundance. II. There are some of you, many of you, who have lived long enough to have grown somewhat dull and dead. Boys and girls are "dead" dead in spirit, dead in the worst kind of death if... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 2 Kings 4:13

DISCOURSE: 363CONTENTMENT ILLUSTRATED IN THE SHUNAMITE2 Kings 4:13. What is to be done for thee? Wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among mine own people.“TO be content with such things as we have” is a very rare acquirement. Every one imagines that some change of circumstances, and especially some addition to his fortune, will increase his happiness. But the answer of the Shunamite to the Prophet Elisha may well dissipate this... read more

DISCOURSE: 364ALL THE DISPENSATIONS OF PROVIDENCE ARE GOOD2 Kings 4:26. And she answered, It is well.TO serve the Lord with our talents is the best possible improvement of them. Even as it respects this life, we never exert ourselves truly for God without receiving from him, in some way or other, an abundant recompence. Behold the pious Shunamite: being provided richly with the good things of this life, she gladly imparted of them to the Prophet Elisha; and, with her husband’s approbation,... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - 2 Kings 4:26

Infant Salvation September 29th, 1861 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well" 2 Kings 4:26 . The subject of this morning's discourse will be "Infant Salvation." It may not possibly be interesting to all present, but I do not remember to have preached upon this subject to this congregation, and I am anxious moreover that the printed series should contain sermons upon the whole range of theology. I think there is no one point which ought to be... read more
