2 Reyes 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 Reyes 8:10 In-Context

8 Y el rey dijo a Hazael: Toma un presente en tu mano y ve al encuentro del hombre de Dios y consulta al SEÑOR por medio de él, diciendo: "¿Sanaré de esta enfermedad?"
9 Y Hazael fue a recibirle, y tomó un presente en su mano de todo lo bueno de Damasco, la carga de cuarenta camellos; y vino y se puso delante de él y dijo: Tu hijo Ben-adad, rey de Aram, me ha enviado a ti, diciendo: "¿Sanaré de esta enfermedad?"
10 Entonces Eliseo le dijo: Ve y dile: "Ciertamente sanarás"; pero el SEÑOR me ha mostrado que ciertamente morirá.
11 Y puso rígido su rostro y fijó sus ojos en él hasta que se sintió avergonzado, y el hombre de Dios lloró.
12 Y Hazael dijo: ¿Por qué llora mi señor? Entonces respondió: Porque sé el mal que harás a los hijos de Israel: incendiarás sus fortalezas, matarás a espada a sus jóvenes, estrellarás a sus niños y rasgarás el vientre a sus mujeres encintas.
