2 Kings 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:11

Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for
this thing
There was as it were a storm in his breast, as the word signifies; he was like a troubled sea, tossed with tempests, exceeding uneasy in his mind, fretting at the disappointment he met with time after time:

and he called his servants, and said unto them, will ye not show me
which of us is for the king of Israel?
he suspected that some one of his counsellors was in the interest of the king of Israel, and betrayed his secrets to him, which was the cause of his disappointments.
