Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:33

Prayed unto the Lord - He had no power of his own by which he could restore the child. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:34

Lay upon the child - Endeavored to convey a portion of his own natural warmth to the body of the child; and probably endeavored, by blowing into the child's mouth, to inflate the lungs, and restore respiration. He uses every natural means in his power to restore life, while praying to the Author of it to exert a miraculous influence. Natural means are in our power; those that are supernatural belong to God. We should always do our own work, and beg of God to do his. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:35

The child sneezed seven times - That is, it sneezed abundantly. When the nervous influence began to act on the muscular system, before the circulation could be in every part restored, particular muscles, if not the whole body, would be thrown into strong contractions and shiverings, and sternutation or sneezing would be a natural consequence; particularly as obstructions must have taken place in the head and its vessels, because of the disorder of which the child died. Most people,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Kings 4:37

She went in and fell at his feet - Few can enter into the feelings of this noble woman. What suspense must she have felt during the time that the prophet was employed in the slow process referred to above! for slow in its own nature it must have been, and exceedingly exhausting to the prophet himself. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 4:1-44

TYPICAL MIRACLES WROUGHT BY ELISHA . General introduction . The miracles of this chapter are all of them miracles of mercy. The first and last consist in the multiplying of food, and thus belong to the same class as our Lord's feeding the four and the five thousands, and Elijah's increasing the meal and oil of the widow of Zarephath ( 1 Kings 17:10-16 ). It serves no useful purpose to ask how miracles of this class were wrought. The inspired writers have not told us; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Kings 4:8

And it fall on a day, that. The expression seems to be archaic. It occurs only hero and in. the opening chapters of the Book of Job (i. 6, 13; Job 2:1 ). The most literal rendering would be, and the day came when . Elisha passed to Shunem. Shunem was a village of Galilee, situated in the territory assigned to Issachar ( Joshua 19:18 ). It is reasonably identified with the modern Solam , at the south-eastern foot of the Gebel Duhy, or "Little Hermon," a "flourishing village... read more

Kindness requited. I. GOOD MEN CARRY THEIR GOODNESS WHEREVER THEY GO . The Shunammite's words are a testimony to the character of Elisha. "I perceive that this is a holy man of God, which passeth by us continually." Elisha's conduct and conversation showed him to be a holy man of God. It was evident that God was with him, and that he lived near to God. He did not leave his religion behind him at home. Wherever he was, he took his religion with him. A lesson for modern... read more

Hospitality. "And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem," etc. In these verses there are two very interesting subjects of a practical character. I. HOSPITALITY RIGHTFULLY EMPLOYED . The object of the hospitality was Elisha the prophet, and the author of it is called here "a great woman." 1 The account given is very clear and sententious. "And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that... read more

The lady of Shunem: 1. A son given. The scene of this exquisite story is the town of Shunem, on the slope of Little Hermon, one of the eminences looking down on the rich and extensive plain of Jezreel. I. RECEIVING A PROPHET IN THE NAME OF A PROPHET . In this town dwelt a wealthy lady, wife of a man who had large possessions in land—the Boaz of that district. The first part of the story is a beautiful instance of the consecrated use of wealth. 1. Elisha observed .... read more
