2 Reyes 13:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:27

And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea
Or towards it, as he was ordered, the rod being in his hand, as before observed:

and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared;
being no longer detained by a superior power, contrary to the nature of it, to stand still as an heap, and firm as a wall, its waves came down and rolled with their usual force and strength, or it returned to its usual course:

at the appearance of the morning in its strength;
when the morning looked forth in its first light and brightness, when it was broad day:

and the Egyptians fled against it;
against the waves that came rolling down upon them: or "at meeting it" ^F21, for as they turned their backs on the Israelites and fled, the waters of the sea met them, as well as fell on each side of them, or rather over them, and followed after them, and closed and shut them up on all sides; so that it was in vain for them to flee, for let them go which way they would, the sea was against them:

and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea;
or shook them "off" or "out" ^F23; out of their chariots, blew them out with the wind; for as there was a wind made use of to divide the waters of the sea, and make the bottom of it dry, there was another to cause the waters to return to their former place; see ( Exodus 15:10 ) or the waves of the sea dashed them out of their chariots, or through the force of them they were overturned in it.

2 Reyes 13:2 In-Context

1 En el año veintitrés del reinado de Joás hijo de Ocozías, rey de Judá, Joacaz hijo de Jehú ascendió al trono de Israel, y reinó en Samaria diecisiete años.

2 Joacaz hizo lo que ofende al SEÑOR, pues siguió el mal ejemplo de Jeroboán hijo de Nabat y no se apartó del pecado con que este hizo pecar a Israel.

3 Por eso la ira del SEÑOR se encendió contra los israelitas y, por mucho tiempo, los puso bajo el poder de Jazael, rey de Siria, y de su hijo Ben Adad.

4 Entonces Joacaz clamó al SEÑOR, y él lo escuchó, pues vio la gran opresión del rey de Siria sobre Israel.

5 El SEÑOR les proveyó un libertador, de modo que los israelitas pudieron librarse del poder de los sirios y vivir tranquilos, como antes.
