Melachim Bais 6:8 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:8

Then the king of Syria warred against Israel
Proclaimed war against him; on what account, or how long it was after Naaman his general came with a letter of recommendation from him to the king of Israel, and had his cure, is not said:

and took counsel with his servants;
his privy counsellors, or the general officers of his army:

saying, in such and such a place shall be my camp;
in some covered hidden place, as the Targum; where he would lie encamped waiting in ambush, to fall upon the king of Israel unawares, as he and his forces should pass that way; the place, no doubt, was named by the king of Syria, though not recorded by the historian; or, as the words may be rendered,

the place of such and such a man;
for, as Ben Melech observes, "peloni almoni" are used of persons whose names are either unknown or concealed.

Melachim Bais 6:8 In-Context

6 And the Ish HaElohim said, Where fell it? And he showed him the makom (place). And he cut an etz (piece of wood, stick), and cast it in there; and the barzel did float up to the surface.

7 Therefore said he, Take it out to thee. And he stretched out his yad, and took it.

8 Then Melech Aram warred against Yisroel, and took counsel with his avadim, saying, In such and such makom shall be my chosen encampment places.

9 And the Ish HaElohim sent unto Melech Yisroel, saying, Beware that thou be shomer not to pass this makom; for there come down Aram.

10 And Melech Yisroel sent to the makom which the Ish HaElohim told him and warned him of, and he was watchful there, not just once nor twice.
