2 Reyes 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 Reyes 4:28 In-Context

26 Te ruego que corras ahora a su encuentro y le digas: "¿Te va bien a ti? ¿Le va bien a tu marido? ¿Le va bien al niño?" Y ella respondió: Bien.
27 Cuando ella llegó al monte, al hombre de Dios, se asió de sus pies. Y Giezi se acercó para apartarla, pero el hombre de Dios dijo: Déjala, porque su alma está angustiada y el SEÑOR me lo ha ocultado y no me lo ha revelado.
28 Entonces ella dijo: ¿Acaso pedí un hijo a mi señor? ¿No dije: "No me engañes?"
29 Entonces él dijo a Giezi: Ciñe tus lomos y toma mi báculo en tu mano, y vete; si encuentras a alguno, no lo saludes, y si alguien te saluda, no le respondas, y pon mi báculo sobre el rostro del niño.
30 Y la madre del niño dijo: Vive el SEÑOR y vive tu alma, que no me apartaré de ti. Entonces él se levantó y la siguió.
