2 Kings 4:30

30 porro mater pueri ait vivit Dominus et vivit anima tua non dimittam te surrexit ergo et secutus est eam

2 Kings 4:30 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:30

And the mother of the child said
Having no faith in what the servant was to do, or could do:

as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee;
signifying she would not go with his servant, but insisted upon it that he himself went with her, or she would not depart:

and he arose, and followed her;
influenced by her importunity, and a sense of favours he had received from her, and more especially by the Spirit of God.

2 Kings 4:30 In-Context

28 quae dixit illi numquid petivi filium a domino meo numquid non dixi tibi ne inludas me

29 et ille ait ad Giezi accinge lumbos tuos et tolle baculum meum in manu tua et vade si occurrerit tibi homo non salutes eum et si salutaverit te quispiam non respondeas illi et pones baculum meum super faciem pueri

30 porro mater pueri ait vivit Dominus et vivit anima tua non dimittam te surrexit ergo et secutus est eam

31 Giezi autem praecesserat eos et posuerat baculum super faciem pueri et non erat vox neque sensus reversusque est in occursum eius et nuntiavit ei dicens non surrexit puer

32 ingressus est ergo Heliseus domum et ecce puer mortuus iacebat in lectulo eius
