2 Reyes 3:11

Listen to 2 Reyes 3:11
11 Pero Josafat dijo: ¿No hay aquí un profeta del SEÑOR para que consultemos al SEÑOR por medio de él? Y uno de los siervos del rey de Israel respondió, y dijo: Aquí está Eliseo, hijo de Safat, el que vertía agua en las manos de Elías.

2 Reyes 3:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 3:11

But Jehoshaphat said, is there not here a prophet of the Lord,
that we may inquire of the Lord by him?
&c.] This the good king should have done before be set out, but had neglected it; however, it was not too late:

and one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said;
who might be one that feared the Lord, and was intimate with Elisha, or however had knowledge of him, as appears by what follows:

here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of
Elijah;
or ministered to him, as the Targum; was his menial servant, waited on him, and assisted him when he washed his hands F7; some Jewish writers understand it of his pouring water on the hand of Elijah at Carmel, when the altar and trench were filled with it, and when a miracle was wrought, as they fancy, and the fingers of Elijah became as fountains of water.


FOOTNOTES:

F7 See the like phrase of the business of a servant in Homer, Iliad. 3. ver. 270, & Iliad. 9. ver. 174. Odyss. 1. ver. 147. & Odyss. 3. ver. 388. & Odyss. 4. ver. 258, 261. & passim.

2 Reyes 3:11 In-Context

9 Fue el rey de Israel con el rey de Judá y el rey de Edom; y dando un rodeo anduvieron siete días de camino; y no había agua para el ejército ni para los animales que los seguían.
10 Entonces el rey de Israel dijo: ¡Ah! Porque el SEÑOR ha llamado a estos tres reyes para entregarlos en manos de Moab.
11 Pero Josafat dijo: ¿No hay aquí un profeta del SEÑOR para que consultemos al SEÑOR por medio de él? Y uno de los siervos del rey de Israel respondió, y dijo: Aquí está Eliseo, hijo de Safat, el que vertía agua en las manos de Elías.
12 Y Josafat dijo: La palabra del SEÑOR está con él. Y el rey de Israel y Josafat y el rey de Edom descendieron a él.
13 Entonces Eliseo dijo al rey de Israel: ¿Qué tengo que ver contigo? Ve a los profetas de tu padre y a los profetas de tu madre. Y el rey de Israel le dijo: No, porque el SEÑOR ha llamado a estos tres reyes para entregarlos en mano de Moab.
