2 Reyes 13:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 13:14

Now Elisha was fallen sick of his sickness whereof he died,
&c.] The prophets do not live for ever; this sickness was unto death; Elisha died, and was not translated as Elijah was:

and Joash the king came down unto him;
from his palace to the prophet's house, to visit him in his sickness; which was an instance of great condescension and respect, and especially in a wicked prince that could not be reformed by him:

and wept over his face;
held his head over him, and wept, perceiving he was near his end, and sensible that his death would be a public loss; the nation having often reaped the benefit of his prayers, though his counsel and advice were neglected and despised:

and said, O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the
horsemen thereof;
the same words Elisha said to Elijah, as he went up to heaven, which very probably Joash had heard of; (See Gill on 2 Kings 2:12), and here, as there, the Targum is,

``my master, my master, who was better to Israel by his prayers than chariots and horsemen.''

2 Reyes 13:14 In-Context

12 Los demás hechos de Joás, y todas las cosas que hizo, y sus valentías con que guerreó contra Amasías rey de Judá, ¿no está todo escrito en el libro de las crónicas de los reyes de Israel
13 Y durmió Joás con sus padres, y se sentó Jeroboam sobre su trono; y Joás fue sepultado en Samaria con los reyes de Israel
14 Estaba Eliseo enfermo de aquella su enfermedad de que murió. Y descendió a él Joás rey de Israel, y llorando delante de él, dijo: ¡Padre mío, padre mío, carros de Israel y su gente de a caballo
15 Y le dijo Eliseo: Toma el arco y las saetas. Tomó él entonces el arco y las saetas
16 Y le dijo al rey de Israel: Pon tu mano sobre el arco como para tirar. Y puso él su mano sobre el arco. Entonces puso Eliseo sus manos sobre las manos del rey
