2 Reis 6:23 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 6:23

And he prepared great provision for them
Or a great feast, as the Targum; so obedient was he to the prophet's orders:

and when they had eaten and drank;
and refreshed themselves, which they needed, having marched all night and that morning from place to place:

he sent them away;
that is, the king of Israel dismissed them:

and they went to their master;
the king of Syria, but without the prophet Elisha they were sent to fetch:

so the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel;

2 Reis 6:23 In-Context

21 Quando o rei de Israel os viu, disse a Eliseu: Feri-los-ei, feri-los-ei, meu pai?
22 Respondeu ele: Não os ferirás; feririas tu os que tomasses prisioneiros com a tua espada e com o teu arco? Põe-lhes diante pão e água, para que comam e bebam, e se vão para seu senhor.
23 Preparou-lhes, pois, um grande banquete; e eles comeram e beberam; entĂŁo ele os despediu, e foram para seu senhor. E as tropas dos sĂ­rios desistiram de invadir a terra de Israel.
24 Sucedeu, depois disto, que Bene-Hadade, rei da Síria, ajuntando todo o seu exército, subiu e cercou Samária.
25 E houve grande fome em Samária, porque mantiveram o cerco até que se vendeu uma cabeça de jumento por oitenta siclos de prata, e a quarta parte dum cabo de esterco de pombas por cinco siclos de prata.
