Kings II 1:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Kings 1:6

And they said unto him, there came a man up to meet us, and
said unto us, go, turn again unto the king that sent you

and then they repeated all that is said by the angel to Elijah, and he had delivered to them, ( 2 Kings 1:3 2 Kings 1:4 ) and which was a sufficient reason for their turning back, since they got a full answer from a man of God, of what they were to inquire of at Ekron; which was, whether the king would recover of this disease or not.
