2 Reis 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 4:28

Then she said, did I desire a son of my lord?
&c.] It was not at her request she had one, at least the first motion was not from her; the prophet first told her, and assured her she should have one, without her asking for it; she might be pleased with it, and desire the promise might be fulfilled; but it was not an inordinate, importunate, desire of one, in which she had exceeded, that so the taking it away from her might be a correction of her for it:

did I not say, do not deceive me;
by giving hopes of a child, and yet have none; and now it was equally the same, or worse, to have one, and then to have it taken away again as soon as had almost; so the Targum,

``did I not say unto thee, if a child is given me, let it live, if not, do not trouble or grieve me;''

and then, no doubt, she told him plainly the child was dead, and where she had laid it, though not recorded.

2 Reis 4:28 In-Context

26 corre-lhe ao encontro e pergunta-lhe: Vais bem? Vai bem teu marido? Vai bem teu filho? Ela respondeu: Vai bem.
27 Chegando ela ao monte, � presença do homem de Deus, apegou- se-lhe aos pés. Chegou-se Geazi para a retirar, porém, o homem de Deus lhe disse: Deixa-a, porque a sua alma está em amargura, e o Senhor mo encobriu, e não mo manifestou.
28 Então disse ela: Pedi eu a meu senhor algum filho? Não disse eu: Não me enganes?
29 Ao que ele disse a Geazi: Cinge os teus lombos, toma o meu bordão na mão, e vai. Se encontrares alguém, não o saúdes; e se alguém te saudar, não lhe respondas; e põe o meu bordão sobre o rosto do menino.
30 A mãe do menino, porém, disse: Vive o senhor, e vive a tua alma, que não te hei de deixar. Então ele se levantou, e a seguiu.
