2 Reis 6:19 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:19

And Elisha said unto them, this is not the way, neither is
this the city
Which is an answer to some questions of the Syrians; as, whether this was the way to find the prophet Elisha, and this the city in which he was to be found? and he answers most truly, though ambiguously, that the way they were in, and in which should they proceed, was not the way, nor this the city, in which he was to be found, because he was come out of it, and was going to Samaria:

follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek;
as he did: but he led them to Samaria: whither he was going, they being still under that sort of blindness with which they were smitten; otherwise they would have known the country better than to have been led thither.

2 Reis 6:19 In-Context

17 E Eliseu orou, e disse: ç senhor, peço-te que lhe abras os olhos, para que veja. E o Senhor abriu os olhos do moço, e ele viu; e eis que o monte estava cheio de cavalos e carros de fogo em redor de Eliseu.

18 Quando os sírios desceram a ele, Eliseu orou ao Senhor, e disse: Fere de cegueira esta gente, peço-te. E o Senhor os feriu de cegueira, conforme o pedido de Eliseu.

19 Então Eliseu lhes disse: Não é este o caminho, nem é esta a cidade; segui-me, e guiar-vos-ei ao homem que buscais. E os guiou a Samária.

20 E sucedeu que, chegando eles a Samária, disse Eliseu: Ó Senhor, abre a estes os olhos para que vejam. O Senhor lhes abriu os olhos, e viram; e eis que estavam no meio de Samária.

21 Quando o rei de Israel os viu, disse a Eliseu: Feri-los-ei, feri-los-ei, meu pai?
