2 Reis 8:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 8:10

And Elisha said unto him, go, say unto him, thou mayest
certainly recover
That is, of the disease; and there was not only a probability that he might recover of it, it not being a mortal one, but a certainty that he should not die of it, as he did not, but die a violent death, which the prophet predicts in the next clause; though some take these words not as a command, what he should say, but as a prediction of what he would say; that he would go and tell him he should certainly recover, because he would not discourage him, though the prophet assures him in the next clause that he should die: there is a various reading of these words; we follow the marginal reading, but the textual reading is, "say, thou shall not certainly recover", or "in living live"; which agrees with what follows:

howbeit
or "for"

the Lord hath showed me, that he shall surely die;
though not of that sickness, nor a natural death, but a violent one, and that by the hand of this his servant, though he does not express it.

2 Reis 8:10 In-Context

8 Então o rei disse a Hazael: Toma um presente na tua mão, vai encontrar-te com o homem de Deus e por meio dele consulta ao Senhor, dizendo: Sararei eu desta doença?
9 Foi, pois, Hazael encontrar-se com ele, e levou consigo um presente, a saber, quarenta camelos carregados de tudo o que havia de bom em Damasco. Ao chegar, apresentou-se a ele e disse: Teu filho Bene-Hadade, rei da Síria, enviou-me a ti para perguntar: sararei eu desta doença?
10 Respondeu-lhe Eliseu: Vai e dize-lhe: Hás de sarar. Contudo o Senhor me mostrou que ele morrerá.
11 E olhou para Hazael, fitando nele os olhos até que este ficou confundido; e o homem de Deus chorou.
12 Então disse Hazael: Por que meu senhor está chorando? E ele disse: Porque sei o mal que hás de fazer aos filhos de Israel: Porás fogo �s suas fortalezas, matarás � espada os seus mancebos, despedaçarás os seus pequeninos e fenderás as suas mulheres grávidas.
