2 Re 13:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:16

And he said unto the king of Israel, put thine hand upon the
bow, and he put his hand upon it
His left hand:

and Elisha put his hands upon the king's hands;
on both his hands, which were put, the one on the bow, the other on the arrow F13; hereby signifying, that though the king would draw the bow in battle, the Lord, whom the prophet represented, would give the success; and that it would be by his help, and through his blessing on his arms, that he would obtain victory over his enemies.

F13 See Virgil. Aeneid. 11. ver. 831, 862.

2 Re 13:16 In-Context

14 OR Eliseo infermò d’una sua infermità, della quale eziandio egli morì. E Gioas, re d’Israele, scese, e pianse sopra la faccia di esso, e disse: Padre mio, padre mio, carro d’Israele, e sua cavalleria.
15 Ed Eliseo gli disse: Portami un arco e delle saette. E Gioas gli portò un arco e delle saette.
16 Ed Eliseo gli disse: Impugna l’arco con la mano. Ed egli impugnò l’arco; ed Eliseo mise le mani sopra le mani del re, e disse:
17 Apri la finestra verso Oriente. E quando egli l’ebbe aperta, Eliseo gli disse: Tira. Ed egli tirò. Ed Eliseo disse: Questa è la saetta della vittoria del Signore; la saetta della vittoria contro a’ Siri; e tu percoterai i Siri in Afec, fino ad una intiera sconfitta.
18 Poi disse: Prendi le saette. E quando le ebbe prese, egli disse al re d’Israele: Percuoti contro alla terra. Ed egli percosse tre volte; poi si arrestò.
