Listen to 2 Reyes 2:2

2 Reyes 2:2 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 2:2

And Elijah said unto Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee
Seemingly unwilling he should go with him, and be present at his assumption; which was either out of modesty, not affecting the spread of the honour and glory to be conferred upon him; or to prevent the grief of Elisha at his departure, or to try whether Elisha knew any thing of it, and what affection he had for him:

for the Lord hath sent me to Bethel;
to give some comfort and some instruction and advice to the college of prophets there:

and Elisha said unto him, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I
will not leave thee;
being determined to see the last of him, and to have the benefit of his company and conversation, his heavenly discourse, and instruction from him as long as he could, and in hope of receiving a blessing from him at parting:

so they went down to Bethel;
together, which, according to Bunting {h}, was six miles.

2 Reyes 2:2 In-Context

1 Y sucedió que cuando el SEÑOR iba a llevarse a Elías al cielo en un torbellino, Elías venía de Gilgal con Eliseo.
2 Y Elías dijo a Eliseo: Te ruego que te quedes aquí, porque el SEÑOR me ha enviado hasta Betel. Pero Eliseo dijo: Vive el SEÑOR y vive tu alma, que no me apartaré de ti. Y descendieron a Betel.
3 Entonces los hijos de los profetas que estaban en Betel salieron al encuentro de Eliseo y le dijeron: ¿Sabes que hoy el SEÑOR te quitará a tu señor de sobre ti? Y él dijo: Sí, yo lo sé; callad.
4 Elías entonces le dijo: Eliseo, te ruego que te quedes aquí, porque el SEÑOR me ha enviado a Jericó. Pero él dijo: Vive el SEÑOR y vive tu alma, que no me apartaré de ti. Y fueron a Jericó.
5 Y los hijos de los profetas que estaban en Jericó se acercaron a Eliseo y le dijeron: ¿Sabes que hoy el SEÑOR te quitará a tu señor de sobre ti? Y él respondió: Sí, yo lo sé; callad.
